Stupid Tool Installer
sti is a simplistic tool installer written in Bash. It offers simple
commands to help installing little tools you or others have written.
This document will try to explain to you how to use it.
Bug reports, feature requests, asking for help, and such things can be sent to tom@ryuslash.org or placed on the issue tracker.
Requirements
sti requires Git to be installed.
Installation
The sti source is stored in a git repository. It can be cloned from
the URL git://github.com/ryuslash/sti.git.
Installing sti is simple. Just put the sti executable file somewhere
in your $PATH and you can start using it. You can also download the
executable anywhere and use it from there.
Another option is to use sti to install itself. That way it should
be easier to keep it updated as well. To do this, download sti from,
for example, the git repository, and run it with the sti git
repository url. For example:
$ curl -o sti https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryuslash/sti/master/sti $ bash sti install git://github.com/ryuslash/sti.git
Note: Before executing the sti script for the first time it is
always prudent to have a look to see if it doesn’t do anything you
wouldn’t want it to do.
Since sti installs all executables in ~/usr/bin you should make sure
that this directory is included in $PATH.
