Fabric is a Python library that simplifies the execution of remote commands over SSH. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Fabric on macOS.
Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS. It makes it easy to install and manage software packages. To install Homebrew, open a terminal window and run the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
By default, macOS comes with Python 2. However, we need Python 3 to install and use Fabric. You can download Python 3 from the official website or install it using Homebrew. To install Python 3 using Homebrew, run the following command:
brew install python3
Now that you have Python 3 installed, you can use pip3 to install Fabric. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
pip3 install fabric
To verify that Fabric has been installed successfully, run the following command:
fab --version
This should output the version of Fabric that you have installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fabric on your macOS machine. You can now use Fabric to manage remote servers and execute commands over SSH.
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!
