fpm is a command-line tool designed to simplify the creation and management of package files in various formats, including rpm, deb, and tar. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing fpm from its GitHub repository on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start, please ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies that fpm relies on. Open a terminal emulator and type the following command:
sudo pacman -S gcc make ruby ruby-rdoc rubygems
This command will install Ruby along with the necessary build tools.
Next, we need to clone the fpm GitHub repository to our local system. To do this, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm
Click on the "Code" button and then click on "Download ZIP". This will download the latest version of the fpm source code to your Downloads directory.
Navigate to your Downloads directory in your terminal emulator and extract the downloaded archive by typing the following command:
unzip fpm-master.zip
This will create a new directory called fpm-master in your current working directory. Navigate to this directory by running the following command:
cd fpm-master/
Next, we need to install fpm by running the following command:
sudo gem install fpm --no-document
This command will install fpm and its required dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you should see a message similar to the following:
Successfully installed fpm-1.13.1
...
