FPM is a package building tool for Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FPM on Manjaro, a popular Linux distribution.
Before we get started, you will need to have the following:
FPM is written in Ruby, so we need to install the Ruby programming language first. To do this, open up a Terminal window by pressing CTRL + ALT + T, or by searching for "Terminal" in the Manjaro start menu.
Next, enter the following command to install Ruby:
sudo pacman -S ruby
Enter your password when prompted, and press ENTER to confirm the installation.
Now that we have Ruby installed, we can use the RubyGems package manager to install FPM. To do this, run the following command:
sudo gem install fpm
The installation process will take a few moments, depending on your internet connection speed.
To verify that FPM has been installed successfully, you can run the fpm --version command in the Terminal. This should output the version number of FPM that you have installed.
fpm --version
You should see output similar to this:
1.12.0
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install FPM on Manjaro Linux. Now that you have FPM installed, you can use it to build and package software for your Manjaro system or distribute it to others.
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!
