In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Quizmaster, a simple command-line quiz program, on Alpine Linux Latest.
First, we need to install Git to be able to pull the Quizmaster source code from GitHub. In addition, we need to install a few dependencies required to build Quizmaster. To do this, we run the following command:
apk add git make build-base ncurses-dev
This command will download and install Git, make, build-essentials, and ncurses-dev packages on your system.
Once Git is installed, we can pull the Quizmaster source code from its GitHub repository. We will use the git clone command to do this.
git clone https://github.com/nymanjens/quizmaster.git
This command will create a quizmaster directory in the current directory and pull the Quizmaster source code into it.
With the source code on hand, we will now compile Quizmaster. Change your working directory to the quizmaster directory that Git has created, using the following command:
cd quizmaster
Now to compile Quizmaster, use the Make command in the following command:
make
This command will build the Quizmaster application and generate the quizmaster executable in the same directory.
Finally, we can run the Quizmaster program. Use the following command:
./quizmaster
This command will start the quiz and ask for user input.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Quizmaster on Alpine Linux Latest from GitHub. We have also compiled and run the program. Quizmaster is now ready to be used on your system.
