Installing Manually
Download pmbootstrap
git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap.git
Create a link
If the directory ~/.local/bin
does not already exist, create it with
mkdir --parents ~/.local/bin
Create a symbolic link in ~/.local/bin
named pmbootstrap
ln -s "$PWD/pmbootstrap/pmbootstrap.py" ~/.local/bin/pmbootstrap
Test installation
To test that pmbootstrap is installed correctly, open a new terminal and run
pmbootstrap --version
If this returns something like pmbootstrap: command not found
instead of a version number, ensure that the following lines are in ~/.profile
(zsh: ~/.zprofile
), then open a new terminal and try again.
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" fi
Tab Completion
TODO: This is not yet implemented, watch !1656 |
Tab completion is an optional feature that saves you time by automatically filling in the rest of a command when you press the tab key. You can also see a list of possible commands by double pressing the tab key.
Install argcomplete with
pip3 install --user argcomplete
Next, do one of the following depending on the shell you use:
Note: The following assumes you run pmbootstrap with pmbootstrap . If you use pmbootstrap.py , use that instead |
Bash
Add the following line to ~/.bashrc
:
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete pmbootstrap)"
Then reload your configuration by opening a new terminal or by running source ~/.bashrc
.
Zsh
Add the following lines to ~/.zshrc
:
autoload bashcompinit bashcompinit eval "$(register-python-argcomplete pmbootstrap)"
Then reload your configuration by opening a new terminal or by running source ~/.zshrc
.
