Synopsis
use Zef;
use Zef::Install;
use Zef::Distribution::Local;
# Setup with a single installer backend
my $installer = Zef::Install.new(
backends => [
{ module => "Zef::Service::InstallRakuDistribution" },
],
);
# Assuming our current directory is a raku distribution...
my $dist-to-install = Zef::Distribution::Local.new($*CWD);
my $candidate = Candidate.new(dist => $dist-to-install);
my $install-to-repo = CompUnit::RepositoryRegistry.repository-for-name("site");
# ...install the distribution using the first available backend
my $installed = so $installer.install($candidate, :cur($install-to-repo));
say $installed ?? 'Install OK' !! 'Something went wrong...';
Description
An Installer class that uses 1 or more other Installer instances as backends. It abstracts the logic
to do 'install this distribution with the first backend that supports the given distribution'.
Methods
method install-matcher
method install-matcher(Zef::Distribution $dist --> Bool:D)
Returns True if any of the probeable self.plugins know how to install $dist.
method install
method install(Candidate $candi, CompUnit::Repository :$cur!, Bool :$force, Bool :$precompile, Supplier :$logger, Int :$timeout --> Bool:D)
Installs the distribution $candi.dist to $cur (see synopsis). Set $force to True to allow installing a distribution
that is already installed. If $precompile is False then it will not precompile during installation.
An optional :$logger can be supplied to receive events about what is occurring.
An optional :$timeout can be passed to denote the number of seconds after which we'll assume failure.
Returns True if the installation succeeded.
Note In the future this might have backends allowing installation of e.g. Python modules for things using Inline::Python.
