How to Install Bin from GitHub on Void Linux

Bin is a command-line tool for storing, accessing, and managing snippets of code. If you want to use Bin on your Void Linux system, you will need to install it from the GitHub repository. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do that.

Prerequisites

Before you can install Bin on your Void Linux system, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

The first step to installing Bin on Void Linux is to clone the GitHub repository. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:

git clone https://github.com/w4/bin.git

This will download the Bin repository to your system.

Step 2: Install Bin

Once you have cloned the Bin repository, you can install it on your system. To do this, navigate to the bin directory by using the following command:

cd bin

Next, you need to run the following command to make the bin command available system-wide:

sudo make install

This will install the bin command to /usr/local/bin. If you want to install Bin to a different location, you can use the PREFIX option. For example, if you want to install Bin to /opt/bin, you can use the following command instead:

sudo make PREFIX=/opt install

Step 3: Verify the Installation

Once you have installed Bin on your system, you should verify that it is working correctly. To do this, run the following command:

bin --version

This should display the version of Bin that you have installed on your system.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bin from the GitHub repository on your Void Linux system. You can now use Bin to store, access, and manage code snippets from the command line.
