Rake is a popular build automation tool for Ruby. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Rake on Alpine Linux latest version.
Before installing any new package, it's always recommended to update the package index from the remote Alpine Linux repository. To do so, open your terminal and run the following command:
apk update
This command will update the package index and prepare the system for installation.
Rake is a Ruby package, so we need to have Ruby installed on the system. Run the following command to install Ruby on Alpine Linux:
apk add ruby
This command will install Ruby on your system.
Now that we have Ruby installed, we can proceed to install Rake. To install Rake from the Github repository, we need to install the Git package. For that, run this command:
apk add git
Once Git is installed, we can clone the Rake repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ruby/rake.git
After cloning the repository, change the directory to the Rake folder using the following command:
cd rake
Then, we can install Rake by running the following command:
gem install rake
This will install Rake on your system.
To verify that Rake has been installed correctly, run the following command:
rake --version
This command will display the version of Rake installed on the system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rake on Alpine Linux Latest. You are now ready to start using Rake for your Ruby projects.
