Fenrus is an open-source command-line interface for managing your system packages, similar to pacman on Arch Linux or apt-get/dpkg on Debian-based systems. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Fenrus on Void Linux.
Before installing Fenrus, make sure you have:
First and foremost, we need to make sure that our system is up to date before installing any new software packages. To do so, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Su
Enter your root password if prompted and wait for the system to finish downloading and updating all packages.
Fenrus requires a few dependencies to be installed on our system, such as git, make, and python3. We can install them with the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git make python3
Again, enter your root password if prompted and wait for the installation process to finish.
Once we have all the necessary dependencies installed on our system, we can now proceed to download and install Fenrus itself. To do so, we need to clone the Fenrus repository from Github using the git command:
git clone https://github.com/revenz/fenrus.git
This will download Fenrus to our current working directory.
After cloning the Fenrus repository, navigate to the directory where the repository is cloned using the cd command:
cd fenrus
Then, execute the following command to install Fenrus:
sudo make install
This will compile and install Fenrus on your system.
After installing Fenrus, we need to check if it has been installed properly and is working. To do so, we can run the following command:
fenrus --version
If the installation has been successful, you should see the version number of Fenrus printed on your terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fenrus on your Void Linux system. Now, you can use it to manage your system packages efficiently.
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!
