Exosphere is not just a simple application, but a framework for large-scale software development of micro-service based applications. Developing applications consisting of many different code bases requires a package management system for installing/updating the various pieces of platforms and tools as needed. You don't want to get into the business of having to install several programming languages, frameworks, and other dependencies of your polyglot applications manually.
Before installing Exosphere, ensure you have the following applications installed:
- Download and install the binary executable for your platform from the GitHub release page
- Move the binary to a location in your path and name it
exo
- Download the Exosphere binary for your system from the release page referenced above (for most, this is the 64-bit Darwin build).
- Assuming our binary downloaded to
~/Downloads/exo-darwin-amd64, let's move the binary to a suitable location and make sure it's executable.mv ~/Downloads/exo-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/exochmod +x /usr/local/bin/exo
Note:
Depending on the privileges of /usr/local/bin on your system
some of these steps could require root privileges.
If you don't want to use root privileges here,
please move Exosphere to a different folder in your home directory that is in your PATH.
