Fabric is a Python-based tool that lets you automate repetitive tasks such as deployment and configuration on remote servers. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Fabric on Manjaro, a popular Linux distribution.
Before installing any new software, it's always a good idea to update your system. To do this on Manjaro, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update your system packages to the latest version.
Fabric runs on Python 2, so you'll need to install it if you haven't already. To do this, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S python2
This will install the latest version of Python 2 in your system.
Once you have Python 2 installed, you can install Fabric using pip, which is a package manager for Python. To install pip, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S python2-pip
Now that you have pip installed, you can use it to install Fabric by entering the following command:
sudo pip2 install fabric
This will download and install Fabric on your Manjaro system.
To verify that Fabric is installed correctly, enter the following command in your terminal:
fab --version
This should display the version number of Fabric that you just installed.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Fabric on your Manjaro system. You are now ready to start automating your repetitive tasks!
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!
