feat: A pure shell script to install wasmedge and plugins
hydai opened this issue · comments
Summary
The current installer will rely on Python (2 or 3) as the dependencies to execute.
However, on some devices, the storage is limited; installing Python is impossible. Moreover, Python is only used to install the wasmedge and is not required for WasmEdge.
We would like a new installer that has the most straightforward installation functionality.
Details
- A pure bash shell script
- No third-party dependencies are required
- We should support the following three components as the MVP: WasmEdge tools and libraries, WASI-NN GGML plugin, and rustls plugin.
- We should support the following triples: manylinux2014_aarch64, manylinux2014_x86_64, ubuntu20.04_x86_64, ubuntu20.04_aarch64, darwin_x86_64, darwin_arm64
Appendix
The very first installer is written in a bash shell script: https://github.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/blob/master/utils/install.sh.old
This does not replace the Python installer. Instead, it provides an alternative for those who don't or can't have the Python environment on their devices.
