[solved] install roaster to debian

Unread post by mamaw » Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:21 am

i really love this roaster, so i log out cookies and boot to my debian-netinst where i experiment to reinventing the wheel.. it is a barebones with openbox installed.

i follow the wiki about installing git and roaster. installingpython, python-gtk2, python-configparser, gettext and links2.
then copy roaster.py to /usr/bin/roaster.

i still got this:
$ roaster ---> /usr/bin/roaster : permission denied

$ sudo roaster --> sudo : roaster : command not found.

what did i missed?
-------
edit : this git stuff is very new to me.
edit 2 : typo.

You can go about it two ways:

Code: Select all

sudo make install
from the directory that was created when you used git to clone it...or, the super cheesy way

Code: Select all

mv roaster.py /usr/bin/roaster
...which will work as well.

You could set the right permissions manually, like chmod +x /usr/bin/roaster and/or chmod 777 /usr/bin/roaster, of course as root.

i try sudo make install, and the output : no rule to make install. stop --> i guess the system is not ready to compile stuff (?) (never compile from source before :/ ). i will googling it later

....oh, my mistake... I didn't include a Makefile with that one as it's an integrated script. O_o

Ignore my stupidity. Your system isn't at fault here so much as me not remembering what the hell I did to which project. Roaster doesn't actually "require" an installation, but it is easier to launch from a shell by being inserted into the user's path...assuming that all dependencies have been met.

Glad that you got it taken care of. Would a Makefile (and thus "make install") make this process easier? I could potentially have it check for the correct dependencies, and fail with verbose output if they're not found.

Edit: I checked the included INSTALL.md file, which does include the requirements to make it run. For future reference, always check the INSTALL files when pulling a repo down to build it on your local system. They have REALLY useful information inside of them.

i cannot answer this since i never compile before.
but the instruction at the wiki and readme is very likely clear.
i just miss the chmod step :)
