Latest git builds have a possibility of being broken, unfinished, and potentially dangerous to your system. Use with caution.

If using the standalone binary, you are able to run it portably, without installation if you wish.

You can find .deb, .rpm and standalone binary packages in the latest release.

Build From Source

Dependencies

Gather Prerequisites

• Rust (stable branch)
  • Cargo
  • Rustup
  • cargo-zigbuild
• Zig

Setup

Note

I recommend using the stable branch, but you can choose whatever if needed.

rustup default stable

Add needed target

Important

The target you choose is based on your CPU architecture. Choose accordingly.

x86_64

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

x86, i686, i386

rustup target add i686-unknown-linux-musl

aarch64 (ARM64)

rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl

arm (32-bit, armv7)

rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf

Install cargo-zigbuild

Important

Make sure you have zig installed, or else it will not build

cargo install cargo-zigbuild

Build & Install

Clone and enter repository

git clone https://github.com/owen-debiasio/cmdcreate.git --depth=1
cd cmdcreate

Automatic (recommended)

./dev/install.sh

Manual

Warning

Be prepared to manually troubleshoot issues.

Note

The resulting binary after you build will be located in the following:

target/<target of your choice>/release/cmdcreate

Tip

If you get an error while building such as:

error occurred in cc-rs: failed to find tool "zig": No such file or directory (os error 2)

Try prefixing cargo zigbuild with:

PATH="$(pwd)/<path to directory containing zig binary>:$PATH"

cargo zigbuild --release --target <target of your choice>
sudo install -Dm755 target/<target of your choice>/release/cmdcreate /usr/local/bin/cmdcreate
