fpm is a package build and deployment tool written in Ruby. It can be used to create packages in various formats like RPM, DEB, tarball, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install fpm on Arch Linux from the official GitHub repository.
Before we begin the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Ruby on your system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
pacman -S ruby
This command will install Ruby on your system.
Next, we need to install RubyGems, which is a package manager for the Ruby programming language. To install RubyGems, run the following command in your terminal:
pacman -S rubygems
At this point, we have installed Ruby and RubyGems. Now we can use RubyGems to install fpm. To install fpm, run the following command in your terminal:
gem install --no-document fpm
This command will download and install the latest version of fpm from the official RubyGems repository.
To verify that fpm is installed and running correctly, run the following command in your terminal:
fpm --version
This command should display the version of fpm that you just installed.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install fpm on Arch Linux from the official GitHub repository. You can now use fpm to create packages in various formats and deploy them on your system.
