Factor is a dynamic stack-based programming language that is designed to be simple, efficient, and expressive. If you'd like to install it on your Void Linux system, follow these simple steps:
Before installing Factor, you need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo xbps-install -S gcc make libbsd-devel ncurses-devel
Visit the Factor website and download the latest version of Factor. Once you've downloaded it, extract the archive:
tar xf factor-x.xx.tar.gz
Replace "x.xx" with the actual version number.
Move to the extracted directory and run the following commands to build Factor:
cd factor-x.xx
make PREFIX=/usr/local
If the build completes successfully, it will create a factor binary in the factor-x.xx directory.
Run the following command to install Factor:
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local
This will install Factor to /usr/local.
To verify that Factor is installed correctly, open a new terminal and type:
factor
If Factor is installed correctly, you will see the Factor prompt:
Factor version x.xx
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Factor on your Void Linux 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!
