Example install instructions for module Example::Module

Installation requirements

With a normal rakudo installation, you should have available one or both of the installer tools:

  • zef
  • panda

zef is becoming the preferred tool because of more features (including an uninstall function) and more active development, but either tool should work fine for a first installation of a desired module. We'll use zef for the rest of the examples.

Installation

zef install Example::Module

If the attempt shows that the module isn't found or available, ensure your installer is current:

zef update

If you want to use the latest version in the git repository (or it's not available in the Perl 6 ecosystem), clone it and then install it from its local directory. Here we assume the module is on Github in location "https://github.com/jhancock/Example-Module-Perl6", but use the Github clone instructions for the desired module. (Note the repository name is usually not the exact name of the module as used in Perl 6.)

git clone https://github.com/jhancock/Example-Module-Perl6.git
zef install /path/to/cloned/repository/directory
