FPM is a tool that allows you to package any application or script in an easy-to-install format for various systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FPM on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we start, please ensure the following:
Before installing FPM, we need to install some dependencies. This step is crucial, so make sure you don't skip it. We will use the FreeBSD package manager to install these dependencies.
Open your terminal and log in to your FreeBSD server with your sudo-enabled user account.
Run the following command to update the package index:
sudo pkg update
Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo pkg install rubygem-rake rubygem-bundler rubygem-ffi rubygem-fluentd rubygem-pleaserun rubygem-childprocess rubygem-logging rubygem-syslog-logger rubygem-mime-types rubygem-ohai rubygem-rspec rubygem-rspec-core rubygem-rspec-expectations rubygem-rspec-mocks rubygem-chef-config rubygem-chef-utils rubygem-chef-zero
It may take a few minutes to install all the packages.
Once we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed with installing FPM. We will use the RubyGems package manager to install FPM.
Run the following command to install FPM:
sudo gem install fpm
Note: This command may take several minutes to complete. Be patient and wait until the installation finishes.
Verify that FPM is installed correctly by running the following command:
fpm --version
You should see the version number of FPM printed on the screen, indicating that it was installed successfully.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FPM on your FreeBSD Latest server. You can now use FPM to package your applications or scripts for easy installation on different systems. The possibilities are endless!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
