In this tutorial, we will cover how to install FPM, a powerful and versatile tool used to create packages across multiple platforms, on Ubuntu Server.
Before installing FPM, we need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev build-essential
This command installs the necessary packages including Ruby, which is required to run FPM.
Now we will install FPM by cloning its repository directly from GitHub. Run the following commands to download and install FPM:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.git
cd fpm
sudo gem install fpm
In the above commands, we first install Git, a version control system, and then clone the FPM repository. Finally, we navigate into the newly downloaded FPM directory and use Gem, a package manager for Ruby, to install FPM.
To verify that FPM is installed correctly, run the following command:
fpm --version
This command should return the version number of your FPM installation if it was installed correctly.
Congratulations, you have now successfully installed FPM on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now begin using FPM to create and manage packages on your system.
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!
