Fussel is a command-line utility that generates random words and phrases based on a set of rules defined in a grammar file. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Fussel on Void Linux using the command line.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before installing Fussel, you need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal emulator and execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S gcc make musl-dev
This command installs GNU Compiler Collection (gcc), GNU's implementation of the C/C++ Compiler and Standard Library Headers, make, a build automation tool for generating executables and other files, and musl-dev, a C/C++ standard library.
The next step is to download Fussel. You can either download it as a zip file or clone it from the Git repository. For this tutorial, we'll clone the repository using git.
In your terminal emulator, execute the following command to clone the Git repository:
git clone https://github.com/cbenning/fussel.git
Now, we'll build and install Fussel. Navigate to the cloned repository's directory using the following command:
cd fussel
Execute the following command to build Fussel:
make
Once the build process completes, execute the following command to install Fussel:
sudo make install
After installation, verify that Fussel is installed correctly by executing the following command in your terminal emulator:
fussel --help
If Fussel is installed correctly, you'll see a help message that lists the available command-line options.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Fussel on Void Linux from the Git repository. Now that you have Fussel installed, you can use it to generate random words and sentences for your projects.
