FPM (Effing Package Management) is a free and open-source package manager used primarily to create packages in multiple formats. In this tutorial, we will see how to install FPM on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing FPM, we need to update the package index and upgrade existing packages on our system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
FPM has some dependencies that must be installed before installing FPM. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apk add ruby-dev gcc make libc-dev
FPM is written in Ruby, and we need to have Ruby gems installed on our system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk add ruby ruby-io-console ruby-bundler
Now, we are ready to install FPM from GitHub. You can do this by following the steps given below:
git clone https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.git
cd fpm
gem install fpm
This will install FPM and all its dependencies.
After installation is complete, you can verify FPM installation by checking its version using the following command:
fpm --version
If FPM is installed correctly, it should display the version information of FPM.
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install FPM on Alpine Linux Latest. FPM is a powerful package management tool for creating packages in multiple formats.
