You can download one of the releases found at https://github.com/fsharp-editing/Forge/releases
Alternately you can clone the repo, build the source, and then move the files in your bin folder to a location of your choosing.
One option is to build the project from source and create a symlink.
Choose an installation directory:
export BUILD_DIR=apps
mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR
cd $BUILD_DIR
Clone the repo and build the app:
git clone https://github.com/fsharp-editing/Forge
cd Forge
fake build
Choose a location for the executable:
export INSTALL_DIR=~/bin
mkdir -p $INSTALL_DIR
Ensure that the destination directory is on the user's $PATH
.
For example, in the user's .bashrc
, add the following line:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Reload the .bashrc
with source
or .
:
. ~/.bashrc
Create a symlink that points to the script, which runs executable.
ln -s `pwd`/temp/forge.sh $INSTALL_DIR/forge
Imposter syndrome disclaimer: I want your help. No really, I do.
There might be a little voice inside that tells you you're not ready; that you need to do one more tutorial, or learn another framework, or write a few more blog posts before you can help me with this project.
I assure you, that's not the case.
