Status is a simple command-line tool that lets you check the status of various services directly in your terminal. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps required to install Status on the latest version of Alpine Linux.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
First, we need to install the dependencies required to build and run Status. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
apk add build-base libconfig-dev ncurses-dev git
This will install the necessary packages to compile Status.
Next, we need to clone the Status repository from GitHub. We can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dani3l0/Status.git
This will create a new directory called Status containing the source code for the tool.
Now that we have the source code, we can proceed to build and install Status. To do this, follow these steps:
Status directory:cd Status
./configure
make
make install
This will install Status in the default location, which is /usr/local/bin/.
Finally, we can verify that Status has been installed correctly by running the following command:
status -V
This should display the version number of Status, indicating that the tool is now ready to use.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the necessary steps to install Status on Alpine Linux Latest. Now that Status is installed, you can use it to check the status of various services and programs running on your system.
