How to Install Touca on Void Linux

Touca is a powerful and intuitive testing and debugging tool for software engineers, and it offers features such as automated regression testing, comparing results, and more. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Touca on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following:

Installation

Step 1: Add Touca Package Repository

The Touca package is not available on Void Linux repositories. Therefore, we will need to add the Touca package repository to our system. We can do that as follows:

  1. Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T
  2. Type the following command to create a new file:
sudo nano /etc/xbps.d/touca.conf
  1. Paste the following code into the file:
repository=https://packages.touca.io/void-linux/current/
  1. Save and exit the file by pressing "Ctrl + X," then "Y," and hit "Enter."

Step 2: Update && Refresh Package List

Next, update the Void Linux package manager and refresh the package list to include the Touca package repository.

Run the following commands:

sudo xbps-install -Suv
sudo xbps-install touca

This will update the package manager and install Touca on your system.

Step 3: Verify Installation

To verify if Touca is correctly installed, type the following command in your Terminal:

touca --version

You will see the version number of Touca displayed on your screen.

Conclusion

Congratulations, Touca is now installed on your Void Linux machine. Use Touca to enhance your software testing and debugging workflow. If you encounter any problems during the installation, check for errors in the Terminal output or refer to Touca's official documentation.
