As of the moment of writing this -program, Rakudo Star Perl 6 binaries cannot easily be moved around on the OS, -making regular installation methods more troublesome than they ought to be. To -deal with the installation issue, I wrote LoneStar, to just take care of it. I -chose to use Bash to ensure it can run on a wide range of GNU+Linux systems -without much trouble. - -== Installation - -LoneStar is given a `Makefile` which can take care of installation. However, it -does not _need_ to be installed if you just want to try it out first. I would -recommend installation anyway, in order to make easy use of the `init` -subcommand (which will update you `$PATH` to include the Perl 6 executables for -you). - -You can clone the repo using git, and use `make` to install it: - -[source,sh] ----- -cd "$(mktemp -d)" -git clone https://gitlab.com/tyil/lonestar . -make DESTDIR=/usr/local install ----- - -Some shells will require you to _rehash the $PATH_. On Bash, this is done -using `hash -r`. Zsh users should run `rehash`. Other shell users may have to -consult their respective shell's manual. With newer shells, this is oftentimes -not necessary, though. - -== Usage - -You can invoke `lonestar` without any parameters to get a list of subcommands -it will accept, together with optional parameters. To just get the latest -Rakudo Star Perl 6 distribution installed, run `lonestar install`. - -== Issues and feedback - -Issues and feedback can be left on the repository, or you can contact me -directly via any of the channels listed on the homepage of my blog. |
