In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Void, which is available on GitHub on Alpine Linux Latest. Void is a popular, simple, and lightweight GNU/Linux distribution that uses the Xbps package manager to manage its software packages.
Before we proceed with the installation, you must have the following prerequisites:
Ensure that the following packages are installed on your system:
sudo apk add git make g++ linux-headers
On your terminal, clone the Void repository using the git command:
git clone https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void.git
Navigate to the cloned Void folder:
cd Void/
Next, run the following command to build and install Void:
make && sudo make install
The make command will build the Void code while sudo make install command will copy the Void binary to the /usr/bin/ directory.
You can check if Void is installed correctly by running the following command:
