===== Using download_and_compile.sh ===== | |||
A very easy way to install FFGo on systems that have Python and the Bash shell is to use the [[Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu|download_and_compile.sh script]]. This script supports an FFGO ''component'' that installs the latest FFGo release using [https://pip.pypa.io/ pip]. On Debian-based systems, unless option <code>-pn</code> is used, <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> will install FFGo dependencies using the distribution package manager for those that are available in Debian (no third-party repository added). | |||
'''Sample installation session''' | |||
First get <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt>: | |||
mkdir -p ~/flightgear/dnc-managed | |||
cd ~/flightgear | |||
{{fgmeta clone | protocol = https}} | |||
Now use it to install FFGo under <tt>~/flightgear/dnc-managed/install/ffgo</tt> (if you pass option <code>-pn</code> to <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt>, <tt>sudo</tt> won't be used but you'll have to install dependencies yourself): | |||
cd ~/flightgear/dnc-managed | |||
~/flightgear/fgmeta/download_and_compile.sh FFGO | |||
Start the installed FFGo program: | |||
~/flightgear/dnc-managed/install/ffgo/bin/ffgo | |||
Behind the scenes, this installation method uses a Python <tt>venv</tt> and <tt>pip</tt> inside the <tt>venv</tt>. Updating FFGo with this method is done like installation: | |||
cd ~/flightgear/dnc-managed | |||
~/flightgear/fgmeta/download_and_compile.sh FFGO | |||
For more information on <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt>, use <code>download_and_compile.sh --help</code> or visit [[Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu]]. | |||
