NAME

installer - Install an .installer configuration file

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

  # Directly usable without install via http://installer.pm
  curl -s -L http://installer.pm | perl - ~/myprojectenv

  # Will use .installer file in current directory
  installer ~/myprojectenv

  # Using a specific installer file
  installer -f /other/installer_file ~/myprojectenv

  # The .installer file can also be fetched by URL:
  installer -u http://stardestroyer.de/postgis.installer ~/myprojectenv

  # On shell do the following for using the environment after installation
  . ~/myprojectenv/export.sh

Sample .installer file might look like

  perl "5.18.1";
  url "http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.2.4/postgresql-9.2.4.tar.gz", with => {
    pgport => 15432,
  };
  url "http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.10.1/gdal-1.10.1.tar.gz";
  url "http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.4.2.tar.bz2";
  url "http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/source/postgis-2.1.0.tar.gz";
  cpanm "DBD::Pg";

DESCRIPTION

TOTALLY BETA, PLEASE TEST :D

Bigger example for installer file options:

  url "http://host/file.tar.gz",
    with => {
      key => "value",
      other_key => undef,
    },
    enable => [qw( satan )],
    disable => [qw( god )],
    without => [qw( religion )],
    testable => 1;

Would endup with the following parameter on ./configure: --with-key=value --with-other_key --enable-satan --disable-god --without-religion. Also it would run "make test" if there is a Makefile after configuration. Another options possible (so far):

  url "http://host/file.tar.gz",
    custom_test => sub {
      $_[0]->run($_[0]->unpack_path,'testcommand','--args')
    },
    custom_configure => sub {
      $self->run($self->unpack_path,'./Configure','-des','-Dprefix='.$self->target_directory);
    },
    post_install => sub {
      $self->run(undef,'command'); # run in target directory after install
    },
    export_sh => sub {
      return "# extra lines", "# for getting added to", "# export.sh";
    };

Same options can go towards a local file:

  file "/some/local/file.tar.gz";

You can also run a custom command (it will be run inside the target directory):

  run "custom_command", "args", "args";

Install specific perl (so far no options):

  perl "5.8.8";

Or install packages via cpanm:

  cpanm qw( Yeb Dist::Zilla );

Be careful! It doesn't care if you have installed a perl in the target directory or not, and just fire up cpanm, so it would install on your local perl installation, if you don't install perl before.

Or install packages via pip:

  pip qw( rtree imposm );

Be careful! It doesn't care if you have installed pip in the target directory or not, and just fire up pip, so it would install on your local python environment, if you don't installed pip before.
