Installing automatically
Latest release with pip
pmbootstrap is up on pypi now, so it can be installed with:
$ pip3 install --user pmbootstrap
That's it. The steps below are for alternative methods of installing pmbootstrap
. Read on at #Tab completion if you are interested.
Latest development version from git
Download pmbootstrap
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap.git
Install
$ python3 "$PWD/pmbootstrap/setup.py" install
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
):
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi
Then open a new terminal and try again.
Tab completion
Make sure you have created and tested the symlink as described above! |
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.
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
.
