Fx is a command-line tool that helps you simplify the output of complex commands. It aims to make the output simple, pretty, and easy to understand. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install fx on Clear Linux Latest.
To complete this tutorial, you will need access to a Clear Linux Latest instance with administrative privileges or a non-root user with sudo privileges.
It's always a good idea to make sure your system is up-to-date before installing new packages. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo swupd update
Fx is written in Rust, so you'll need to install the Rust programming language compiler, rustc, to be able to build it. You can install Rust by running:
sudo swupd bundle-add rust-basic
Fx requires a few dependencies to build and run correctly. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add cmake pkg-config
Now that we have all the required dependencies installed, we can proceed to install fx on Clear Linux Latest. To install it, run the following command:
cargo install fx
This command will download and compile the latest version of fx and install it onto your system.
To test whether the fx installation was successful, you can run:
fx --help
This should show information about how to use fx and its available options.
In this tutorial, we went over the steps required to install fx on Clear Linux Latest using Rust and Cargo. With fx installed, you can now use the command with various other command-line tools to make their output more readable and easy to understand.
