Rapido is a command-line tool that generates test data for databases. It is available for download at https://framagit.org/InfoLibre/rapido. In this tutorial, we will walk through how to install Rapido on macOS.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS. It will make it easier to install and manage Rapido and its dependencies. Open Terminal and paste the following command.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Rapido requires Python 3 to run. Use Homebrew to install Python 3 by running the following command in Terminal.
brew install python3
Now that we have Python 3 installed, we can use pip to install Rapido. Run the following command in Terminal.
pip3 install rapido
To verify that Rapido is installed correctly, run the following command.
rapido --help
You should see the command-line options for Rapido displayed in Terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rapido on your macOS. You can now use it to generate test data for your databases.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
