NAME¶
App::Pinto::Command::install - install stuff from the repository
VERSION¶
version 0.097
SYNOPSIS¶
pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT install [OPTIONS] TARGET...
DESCRIPTION¶
!! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
Installs targets from the repository into your environment. This is just a thin
wrapper around cpanm that is wired to fetch everything from the Pinto
repository, rather than a public CPAN mirror.
If the "--do-pull" option is given, then all targets and their
prerequisites will be pulled onto the stack before attempting to install them.
If any thing cannot be pulled because it cannot be found or is blocked by a
pin, then the installation will not proceed.
COMMAND ARGUMENTS¶
Arguments are the things you want to install. These can be package names,
distribution paths, URLs, local files, or directories. Look at the cpanm
documentation to see all the different ways of specifying what to install.
You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN. In that case, blank
lines and lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or
';') will be ignored.
COMMAND OPTIONS¶
- --cascade
- !! THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL !!
This option only matters when the "--do-pull" option is also used.
When searching for a prerequisite package, always take the latest
satisfactory version of the package found amongst all the upstream
repositories, rather than just taking the first satisfactory
version that is found. Remember that Pinto only searches the upstream
repositories when the local repository does not already contain a
satisfactory version of the package.
- --cpanm-exe PATH
- --cpanm PATH
- Sets the path to the cpanm executable. If not specified, the
"PATH" will be searched for the executable. At present, cpanm
version 1.500 or newer is required.
- --cpanm-options NAME=VALUE
- -o NAME=VALUE
- These are options that you wish to pass to cpanm. Do not prefix the option
NAME with a '-'. You can pass any option you like, but the
"--mirror" and "--mirror-only" options will always be
set to point to the Pinto repository.
- --dry-run
- Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the
repository. Use this option to see how the command would potentially
impact the stack. This only has effect when using the "--pull"
option.
- --local-lib DIRECTORY
- -l DIRECTORY
- Shortcut for setting the "--local-lib" option on cpanm. Same as
"--cpanm-options local-lib=DIRECTORY" or "-o
l=DIRECTORY".
- --local-lib-contained DIRECTORY
- -L DIRECTORY
- Shortcut for setting the "--local-lib-contained" option on
cpanm. Same as "--cpanm-options local-lib-containted=DIRECTORY"
or "-o L=DIRECTORY".
- --message=TEXT
- -m TEXT
- Use TEXT as the revision history log message. This is only relevant if you
also set the "--pull" option. If you do not use
"--message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the
message via your text editor. Use the "EDITOR" or
"VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used.
A log message is not required whenever the "--dry-run" option is
set, or if the action did not yield any changes to the repository.
- --do-pull
- Pull the targets and recursively pull all their prerequisites onto the
stack before installing. Without the "--do-pull" option, all
targets and their prerequisites must already be on the stack or the
installation will probably fail. When the "--do-pull" option is
used, the stack must not be locked.
- --stack=NAME
- -s NAME
- Use the stack with the given NAME as the repository index. When used with
the "--pull" option, this also determines which stack
prerequisites will be pulled onto. Defaults to the name of whichever stack
is currently marked as the default stack. Use the stacks command to see
the stacks in the repository.
USING cpan OR cpanm DIRECTLY¶
On the surface, A Pinto repository looks like an ordinary CPAN repository, so
you can use any client to install modules. All you have to do is
"point" it at the URL of your Pinto repository. Each client has a
slightly different interface for setting the URL.
For cpanm, use the "--mirror" and "--mirror-only" options
like this:
$> cpanm --mirror file:///path/to/repo --mirror-only Some::Package ...
For cpan, set the "urllist" config option via the shell like this:
$> cpan
cpan[1]> o conf urllist file:///path/to/repo
cpan[2]> reload index
cpan[3]> install Some::Package
cpan[4]> o conf commit # If you want to make the change permanent
Pointing your client at the top of your repository will install modules from the
default stack. To install from a particular stack, just add it to the URL. For
example:
file:///path/to/repo # Install from default stack
file:///path/to/repo/stacks/dev # Install from "dev" stack
file:///path/to/repo/stacks/prod # Install from "prod" stack
If your repository does not have a default stack then you must specify the full
URL to one of the stacks as shown above.
COMPATIBILITY¶
The "install" does not support some of the newer features found in
version 1.6 (or later) of cpanm, such as installing from a Git repository,
installing development releases, or using complex version expressions. If you
pass any of those as arguments to this command, the behavior is unspecified.
