Rake is a popular build tool for Ruby applications that allows you to define a set of tasks to automate your development process. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Rake on Void Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Rake is a Ruby gem, which means that Ruby needs to be installed on your system before you can install Rake. If you haven't installed Ruby yet, you can do so by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S ruby rubygems
This command installs Ruby and Rubygems, which is a package manager for Ruby.
Once you have Ruby installed on your system, you can now install Rake by running the following command:
sudo gem install rake
This command installs the latest version of Rake from the Rubygems repository.
To verify that Rake has been installed successfully, run the following command:
rake --version
This command should display the version of Rake that you have installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rake on Void Linux. With Rake, you can now easily automate tasks in your Ruby applications.
