ygg

Simple installer for using BinaryBuilder.jl built binaries from Yggdrasil outside of Julia.

Installation and usage

0. Install dependencies: ygg requires julia and make.

1. Clone this repository and cd to it:

   $ git clone https://github.com/fredrikekre/ygg.git
   
   $ cd ygg

2. Run make to install the ygg executable:

   $ make

   By default all executables, including ygg, is installed to the build/bin directory inside the repository. Either make sure this directory is available in $PATH or configure the target bin directory by specifying $YGGBINDIR, for example, if you have $HOME/bin in $PATH:

   $ make YGGBINDIR=$HOME/bin

   This will install ygg, and all binaries ygg itself will install, to $HOME/bin/ygg.

3. Install, update, and uninstall binaries with ygg install <binary>, ygg update <binary>, and ygg uninstall <binary>, respectively. For example, to install the zstd compression binary:

   $ ygg install zstd

4. To update ygg itself, e.g. if there are new binaries added to the repo, simply run

   $ ygg update ygg
