This is my attempt at an installer for Alire. It currently supports all non-windows platforms that Alire has an official release for, which at present is:
- Linux, built against glibc
- MacOS
For Windows, please use the current windows installer exe located on Alire's Releases Page.
Right now chmod and (curl or wget) are required to run this.
On Mac and Linux with curl installed, the easiest way is to copy and paste the following command in your terminal:
curl --proto '=https' -sSf https://www.getada.dev/init.sh | shYou can also download the latest zip release, extract it, and run it.
If you want to build it, you can also clone this repository, cd to the directory, then build it with alr update && alr build in Alire.
If you're installing without he above curl command and you get a message about the program not being verified on MacOS, then run the following command on the extracted getada binary before attempting to run it. E.g.:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./getada
Once downloaded, simply run the application as-is, and it will prompt you to install Alire. For instructions on how to use it, run getada --help or getada -h.
It will download the latest version of Alire for your platform as a zip file to a temporary directory and then extract it to a binary directory. By default the temporary directory is whatever mktmp normally puts out. The config directory is ~/.getada, and the alr and getada binaries go in ~/.getada/bin.
After extracting, it will then add the binary directory to your path, by creating a env.sh file (for sh/zsh/bash; other shells like fish are possible in the future) that adds the directory to $PATH if it doesn't already exist. That file will be sourced in the shell's default env file (e.g. .profile).
If you don't want to restart your shell, you'll have to source that file manually. The installer tells you how to do this once successfully installed.
To create a new ada project, simply run:
alr init --bin new_projectThis will create a new ada project in the folder "new_project".
To add, for example, json support to your project, run
alr with jsonCheck out all of the available alire crates on https://alire.ada.dev/crates.html
To build an ada project, run:
alr buildFor more information, check out alire.ada.dev and Ada-lang.io's tutorial.
If you want to undo everything that GetAda did, simply run getada --uninstall. If you want to do this manually, remove alr from the binary directory as well as all of the files in the config directory. You'll also need to remove the source in the shell's profiles.
I also want to bring in the bash autocomplete (and create a zsh autocomplete) and include that in the env.sh, but that's later. Someday I would like to remove the curl/wget dependency and Ada Web Server, but that involves moving off github for the releases.
There's plenty of TODOs in the code, specifically in the installer.adb file, and I'm sure this could be better optimized and reworked.
