Installing Spruce on Arch Linux

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Spruce, a powerful command-line tool for manipulating large YAML files, on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, please make sure you have the following:

• Arch Linux installed
• Basic knowledge of the command line

Step 1: Updating system packages

Open a terminal and update the system packages by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Installing dependencies

Spruce depends on the yaml-cpp library. We can use pacman to install it:

sudo pacman -S yaml-cpp

Step 3: Installing Spruce

Spruce can be installed from the AUR (Arch User Repository) using a package manager such as yay or pacaur.

If you haven't already, you can install either of these package managers using the following command:

sudo pacman -S yay

Or

sudo pacman -S pacaur

Now, use yay or pacaur to install Spruce:

yay -S spruce

Or

pacaur -S spruce

Step 4: Testing the installation

Once the installation is complete, you can test Spruce by running the following command:

spruce --version

This should display the Spruce version that was installed.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Spruce on Arch Linux. You are now ready to start manipulating your YAML files with this powerful command-line tool.
