CSVlint.sh

This uses the power of Traveling Ruby to allow you to run csvlint.rb without replying on having a local Ruby installation.

Support

We support all Linux platforms (32bit and 64bit), OSX and Windows

Installation

Linux and OSX

To install CSVlint, you'll need curl installed on your system.

For Linux:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl -y

For OS X:

brew install curl

Simple installation

From a Linux or OSX terminal, you can then run the following command to download and unpack CSVlint and set up your $PATH:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theodi/csvlint.sh/master/scripts/install.sh | bash

Step by step install

Download the relevant file, based on your platform:

• Linux 32 bit
• Linux 64 bit
• OSX

You can then untar the file like so:

tar xzf csvlint*.tar.gz

Then copy the resulting folder to a sensible place. Make sure to add the location of the csvlint binary to your $PATH.

Windows

There is currently no automatic way to install csvlint on Windows, but you can simply download the zip, extract to a folder, then add to your PATH like so:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\{folder you extracted csvlint to}

Generate application files yourself

If you're interested in how this thing works, you can generate the application files yourself.

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/theodi/csvlint.sh.git && cd csvlint.sh

Run the packaging script

Choose below, depending on your platform:

rake package:linux:x86    # For Linux 32 bit systems
rake package:linux:x86_64 # For Linux 64 bit systems
rake package:osx          # For OSX
rake package:win32        # For OSX

This generates a tar.gz file (zip for Windows), which you can then use as per the installation instructions.

If you're hacking around and want to have a look what all packages look like, you can run the following to package all versions

rake package
