Rake is a popular build automation tool written in Ruby. It is used to define and run tasks for your application or project. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Rake on POP!_OS, which is a Linux-based operating system.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
A Linux-based operating system. In this tutorial, we will use POP!_OS, but you can use any other distribution as well.
A terminal emulator. You can use the default terminal emulator of your operating system, or you can install a third-party one if you prefer.
Ruby installed on your system. Rake is written in Ruby, so you need to have it installed to use Rake.
Before you can install Rake, you need to have Ruby installed on your system. To check if Ruby is already installed on your system, open a terminal emulator and run the following command:
ruby --version
If Ruby is installed, you will see its version number in the output. If Ruby is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt install ruby-full
This will install the latest version of Ruby on your system.
Once you have Ruby installed on your system, you can install Rake by using the RubyGems package manager. RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby that allows you to install and manage Ruby packages.
To install Rake, open a terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo gem install rake
This will download and install the latest version of Rake on your system. During the installation process, RubyGems may ask for your permission to install dependencies as well. You can confirm by typing "y" and pressing enter.
To verify that Rake is installed correctly on your system, you can run the following command:
rake --version
This will display the version number of Rake installed on your system. If you see the version number, it means Rake is installed correctly on your system.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Rake on your POP!_OS system. You can now use Rake to define and run tasks for your application or project.
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!
