Most things are working, this project follows semantic commits and semantic releases, any breaking | ||
changes will result in new major versions. | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
|
||
Without a doubt, [homebrew](https://brew.sh) has had a major impact on the macOS ecosystem. It has made it easy to | ||
install software and keep it up to date. However, it is not without its flaws. It has been around for 15 years and | ||
while it has evolved over time, its core technology hasn't changed, and 15 year is an eternity in the tech world. | ||
Without a doubt, [homebrew](https://brew.sh) has had a major impact on the macOS and even the linux ecosystem. It has made it easy | ||
to install software and keep it up to date. However, it has been around for 15+ years and while it has evolved over time, | ||
its core technology really hasn't changed, and 15+ years is an eternity in the tech world. Languages like [Go](https://golang.org) | ||
and [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) have made it easy to compile binaries and distribute them without complicated | ||
installers or dependencies. **I love homebrew**, but I think there's room for another tool. | ||
|
||
**dist**illery is a tool that is designed to make it easy to install binaries on your system from multiple different | ||
sources. It is designed to be simple and easy to use. It is **NOT** designed to be a package manager or handle complex | ||
dependencies, that's where homebrew shines. | ||
|
||
The goal of this project is to install binaries by leverage the collective power of all the developers out there that | ||
are using tools like [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) and [cargo-dist](https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist) | ||
and many others to pre-compile their software and put their binaries up on GitHub or GitLab. | ||
|
||
## Features | ||
|
||
- Simple to install binaries on your system from multiple sources | ||
- No reliance on a centralized repository of metadata like package managers | ||
- Support multiple platforms and architectures | ||
- Support private repositories (this was a feature removed from homebrew) | ||
- Support checksum verifications (if they exist) | ||
- Support signatures verifications (if they exist) (**not implemented yet**) | ||
|
||
## Install | ||
|
||
## MacOS/Linux | ||
|
||
1. Set your path `export PATH=$HOME/.distillery/bin:$PATH` | ||
2. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/ekristen/distillery/releases) | ||
3. Extract and Run `./dist install ekristen/distillery` | ||
4. Delete `./dist` and the .tar.gz, now use `dist` normally | ||
5. Run `dist install owner/repo` to install a binary from GitHub Repository | ||
|
||
## Windows | ||
|
||
1. [Set Your Path](#set-your-path) | ||
2. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/ekristen/distillery/releases) | ||
3. Extract and Run `.\dist.exe install ekristen/distillery` | ||
4. Delete `.\dist.exe` and the .zip, now use `dist` normally | ||
5. Run `dist install owner/repo` to install a binary from GitHub Repository | ||
|
||
### Set Your Path | ||
|
||
#### For Current Session | ||
|
||
```powershell | ||
$env:Path = "C:\Users\<username>\.distillery\bin;" + $env:Path | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### For Current User | ||
|
||
```powershell | ||
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "C:\Users\<username>\.distillery\bin;" + $env:Path, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### For System | ||
|
||
```powershell | ||
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "C:\Users\<username>\.distillery\bin;" + $env:Path, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Uninstall | ||
|
||
1. Run `dist info` | ||
2. Remove the directories listed under the cleanup section | ||
|
||
### Examples | ||
|
||
Install a specific version of a tool using `@version` syntax. `github` is the default scope, this implies | ||
`github/ekristen/aws-nuke` | ||
|
||
```console | ||
dist install ekristen/[email protected] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Install a tool from a specific owner and repository, in this case hashicorp. This will install the latest version. | ||
However, because hashicorp hosts their binaries on their own domain, distillery has special handling for obtaining | ||
the latest version from releases.hashicorp.com instead of GitHub. | ||
|
||
```console | ||
dist install hashicorp/terraform | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Install a binary from GitLab. | ||
```console | ||
dist install gitlab/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Often times installing from GitHub or GitLab is sufficient, but if you are on a MacOS system and Homebrew | ||
has the binary you want, you can install it using the `homebrew` scope. I would generally still recommend just | ||
installing from GitHub or GitLab directly. | ||
|
||
```console | ||
dist install homebrew/opentofu | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Supported Platforms | ||
|
||
- GitHub | ||
- GitLab | ||
- Homebrew (binaries only, if anything has a dependency, it will not work at this time) | ||
- Hashicorp (special handling for their releases, pointing to github repos will automatically pass through) | ||
|
||
### Authentication | ||
|
||
Distillery supports authentication for GitHub and GitLab. There are CLI options to pass in a token, but the preferred | ||
method is to set the `DISTILLERY_GITHUB_TOKEN` or `DISTILLERY_GITLAB_TOKEN` environment variables using a tool like | ||
[direnv](https://direnv.net/). | ||
|
||
## Behaviors | ||
|
||
- Allow for multiple versions of a binary using `tool@version` syntax | ||
- Running installation for any version will automatically update the default symlink to that version (i.e. switching versions) | ||
- Caching of HTTP calls where possible (GitHub primarily) | ||
- Caching of downloads | ||
|
||
### Running install always updates default symlink | ||
|
||
**Note:** this might change before exiting beta. | ||
|
||
Whenever you run install the default symlink will always be updated to whatever version you specify. This is to make | ||
it easy to switch versions. | ||
|
||
### Multiple Versions | ||
|
||
Every time you run install it will by default seek out the latest version, it will not remove any other versions. All | ||
versions are symlinked with the suffix `@version` this means you can have multiple versions installed at the same time. | ||
|
||
It also means you can call any version any time using the `@version` syntax or if you are using something like [direnv](https://direnv.net/) | ||
you can set aliases in your `.envrc` file for specific versions. | ||
|
||
## Directory Structure | ||
|
||
- Binaries | ||
- Symlinks `$HOME/.distillery/bin` (this should be in your `$PATH` variable) | ||
- Binaries `$HOME/.distillery/opt` (this is where the raw binaries are stored and symlinked to) | ||
- `source/owner/repo/version/<binaries>` | ||
- example: `github/ekristen/aws-nuke/v2.15.0/aws-nuke` | ||
- example: `hashicorp/terraform/v0.14.7/terraform` | ||
- Cache directory (downloads, http caching) | ||
- MacOS `$HOME/Library/Caches/distillery` | ||
- Linux `$HOME/.cache/distillery` | ||
- Windows `$HOME/AppData/Local/distillery` | ||
|
||
### Caching | ||
|
||
At the moment there are two discrete caches. One for HTTP requests and one for downloads. The HTTP cache is used to | ||
store the ETag and Last-Modified headers from the server to determine if the file has changed. The download cache is | ||
used to store the downloaded file. The download cache is not used to determine if the file has changed, that is done | ||
by the HTTP cache. | ||
|
||
If you need to delete your cache simply run `dist info` identify the cache directory and remove it. | ||
|
||
The goal of this project is to leverage the collective power of all the developers out there that are using tools like | ||
[goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) and [cargo-dist](https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist) and many others to | ||
pre-compile their software and put their binaries up on GitHub or GitLab and install the binaries. | ||
**Note:** I may add a cache clear command in the future. |
