Huber aims to simplify package install management for GitHub projects by providing a built-in, live-updating awesome list of popular projects. It also supports to manage customized package installation from your personal GitHub project. Please check out the complete introduction below.
Huber is a (new) tool for easy installation of dev/ops CLI tools directly from GitHub. No more trawling the releases pages!
introduced by Coffee and Cloud Native - 88
- Manages released artifacts from GitHub and decides which version to use as the current one.
- Manages the default package repository with an awesome package list that includes popular GitHub projects (e.g., K8s, K3s, cloud-native, etc.).
- Supports huber.yaml in any public/private GitHub repository known to Huber to manage the described packages.
- Supports secure protocols (SSH/HTTPS) for communication with GitHub.
- Supports multiple platforms:
- Linux x86_64/amd64
- Linux arm64/aarch64
- Linux arm-v7
- macOS x86_64/amd64
- Windows x86_64/amd64
Please install the necessary dependent libraries on the supported platforms to ensure that Huber works as expected. You can use the appropriate OS package manager to install the dependencies.
# Ubuntu
β― apt install libssl-dev libarchive-dev
# openSUSE
β― zypper install libopenssl-devel libarchive-devel
# CentOS
β― dnf install openssl-devel libarchive-devel
β― brew install libarchive
β― export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig
β― brew install openssl
Please install libarchive, which can be installed with Cygwin, MinGW (pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive
) or Vcpkg (vcpkg install libarchive
).
For vcpkg, you can refer to vcpkg#quick-start-windows.
To install the latest official release, please use the following command. After installation, Huber will be automatically added to the environment path by updating $HOME/.bashrc
. If Huber is not working as expected, please remember to add $HOME/.huber/bin
to the environment path so that huber can be looked up correctly.
# Cargo
β― cargo install huber
# Linux
β― curl -sfSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innobead/huber/master/hack/install.sh | bash
# Windows
β― . { iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innobead/huber/master/hack/windows/install.ps1 } | iex; install
Linux and macOS users can follow the steps below to prepare the environment:
# Setup development environment
β― ./hack/setup-dev.sh
# Install huber in $HOME/.cargo/bin, $HOME/.huber/bin and update ~/.bashrc
β― just install
Windows users can follow the steps below to prepare the environment:
- Download VS 2019 build tool installer, and install C++ development toolchain
- Pull vcpkg git repo (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg), then do bootstrap via
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
- Run
./hack/windows/setup-dev.ps1
Note:
If encountering github access rate limitation, suggest to set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable when running the huber command, or use the global option
--github-token
or configure the huber configuration viahuber config update
. Ref: how to create a personal access tokenIf using SSH to connect github, must set GITHUB_KEY environment variable when running the huber command, or use the global option
--github-key
or configure the huber configuration viahuber config update
.
