Filite is a simple C++ library for reading, writing and manipulating files in a memory-efficient manner. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Filite on EndeavourOS, the latest version of the Arch-based Linux distribution.
Before installing Filite, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies to compile Filite on your system. Open your terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git base-devel
This command installs Git, which is needed to download the Filite source code, and Base-devel, which provides the basic tools needed for compiling software on Arch-based distributions.
Once you have installed the necessary dependencies, use the following commands to download and compile Filite:
git clone https://github.com/raftario/filite.git
cd filite
make
sudo make install
The git clone command downloads the Filite source code from the GitHub repository, and the cd command changes your current directory to the directory where the source code has been downloaded.
The make command compiles the source code and creates the libfilite.a library file.
Finally, the sudo make install command installs the library to your system.
To verify that Filite has been installed on your system, you can try compiling and running the sample program filite-test.cpp provided in the source code.
First, use the following command to copy the sample program to your home directory:
cp examples/filite-test.cpp ~/
Next, compile and run the program using the following commands:
g++ -o filite-test filite-test.cpp -lfilite
./filite-test
If you see the following output, then Filite has been successfully installed on your system:
