Awesome
Huber aims to simplify package install management for GitHub projects by providing a built-in, live-updating awesome list of popular projects. It also supports to manage customized package installation from your personal GitHub project. Please check out the complete introduction below.
Huber is a (new) tool for easy installation of dev/ops CLI tools directly from GitHub. No more trawling the releases pages!introduced by Coffee and Cloud Native - 88
- Manages released artifacts from GitHub and decides which version to use as the current one.
- Manages the default package repository with an awesome package list that includes popular GitHub projects (e.g., K8s, K3s, cloud-native, etc.).
- Supports huber.yaml in any public/private GitHub repository known to Huber to manage the described packages.
- Supports secure protocols (SSH/HTTPS) for communication with GitHub.
- Supports multiple platforms:
- Linux x86_64/amd64
- Linux arm64/aarch64
- Linux arm-v7
- macOS x86_64/amd64
- Windows x86_64/amd64
Getting Started
Prerequisites
Please install the necessary dependent libraries on the supported platforms to ensure that Huber works as expected. You can use the appropriate OS package manager to install the dependencies.
Linux (usually installed already)
# Ubuntu
❯ apt install libssl-dev libarchive-dev
# openSUSE
❯ zypper install libopenssl-devel libarchive-devel
# CentOS
❯ dnf install openssl-devel libarchive-devel
MacOS
❯ brew install libarchive
❯ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig
❯ brew install openssl
Windows
Please install libarchive, which can be installed with Cygwin, MinGW (pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive) or Vcpkg (vcpkg install libarchive).
For vcpkg, you can refer to vcpkg#quick-start-windows.
Installing Huber
Installing the official version
To install the latest official release, please use the following command. After installation, Huber will be automatically added to the environment path by updating $HOME/.bashrc. If Huber is not working as expected, please remember to add $HOME/.huber/bin to the environment path so that huber can be looked up correctly.
# Cargo
❯ cargo install huber
# Linux
❯ curl -sfSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innobead/huber/master/hack/install.sh | bash
# Windows
❯ . { iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innobead/huber/master/hack/windows/install.ps1 } | iex; install
Installing the development version
Linux and macOS users can follow the steps below to prepare the environment:
# Setup development environment
❯ ./hack/setup-dev.sh
# Install huber in $HOME/.cargo/bin, $HOME/.huber/bin and update ~/.bashrc
❯ just install
Windows users can follow the steps below to prepare the environment:
- Download VS 2019 build tool installer, and install C++ development toolchain
- Pull vcpkg git repo (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg), then do bootstrap via
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat - Run
./hack/windows/setup-dev.ps1
Tutorials
