Capistrano is a tool for deploying and managing applications. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Capistrano on OpenBSD.
Before starting, make sure your OpenBSD machine has the following prerequisites:
To install Capistrano, we'll first create a Ruby gemset for Capistrano and then install Capistrano in that gemset using Bundler.
Create a new gemset for Capistrano:
$ rvm gemset create capistrano
This command creates a new gemset named capistrano in RVM (Ruby Version Manager).
Switch to the capistrano gemset:
$ rvm use <ruby-version>@capistrano
Replace <ruby-version> with the version of Ruby you have installed.
Add the Capistrano gem to the new gemset:
$ echo "gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.16', '>= 3.16.1'" > Gemfile
$ bundle install
This command creates a Gemfile with Capistrano gem dependency and installs the gem using Bundler.
To verify that Capistrano is installed correctly, run the following command:
$ cap --version
This command should output the version number of Capistrano installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Capistrano on OpenBSD.
