Rake is a popular build automation tool for Ruby programs. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Rake on NetBSD.
Before we begin, it is a good idea to update the system to ensure that all system packages are up to date. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pkgin update
To install Rake, you need to have Ruby installed on your system. To install Ruby, run the following command:
sudo pkgin install ruby
In order to build Rake, you will need to install the necessary build tools. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pkgin install gcc make
Go to the Rake GitHub Repository and download the latest source code for Rake.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ruby/rake.git
After downloading the source code, navigate to the root directory of the Rake source code and run the following commands to build and install Rake:
sudo gem build rake.gemspec
sudo gem install rake-*.gem
To verify that Rake has been installed correctly, open a terminal window and run the following command:
rake --version
This command should display the version of Rake that has been installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rake on NetBSD. You can now use Rake to automate your Ruby builds.
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!
