Dram is a POSIX-specific tool for managing shell environments. The basic goal is to make it possible to install new shell-based software, from a number of different sources, with the confidence that it won't mess up your global environment.
Currently supported shells are bash and dash.
Please see the documentation.
Clone the git repo to wherever you like:
$ git clone https://github.com/storborg/dram.git
Set up a directory prefix where you want to put drams:
$ mkdir /dram
Edit your .bashrc to configure it and source it:
$ cat >> ~/.bashrc export DRAM_ROOT=/dram source $HOME/dram/dram/dram.sh
Start a new shell.
Create a new dram:
$ dram create -t plain my-first-dram $ dram use my-first-dram
Install something with cmake:
$ dram cdsource $ git clone [email protected]:me/coolsoftware.git $ cd coolsoftware $ mkdir build $ dram cmake .. $ make && make install
Tip: don't ever use sudo within a dram. This will keep your "base system" totally pristine. One of the design goals of dram is to make it easy to clean up misbehaving installations.
