Running postmarketOS or Void Linux? Grab pmbootstrap straight from your distribution's package manager (e.g. apk add pmbootstrap )! |
Requirements
python
>=3.4- Depending on the installation method:
pip3
(possibly shipped with Python)git
Alpine Linux users also need to install coreutils
and procps
:
$ apk add python3 coreutils procps
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
This setup is useful for hacking on pmbootstrap code, because you are directly running the code from your git tree. No need to run setup.py after each change.
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
.
