# Aptinstaller: automatically install apt package dependencies ## Description This gem installs packages through apt-get in a similar manner as geminstaller installs gems. ## Usage aptinstaller [/full/path/to/rails/project/root] ## Configuration ### Add a Config File Put something like this in config/aptinstaller.yml: --- packages: - executable: firefox - executable: MP4Box package: gpac The executable field is the name of the executable (i.e. $ MP4Box). If the package's name in the repositories is different from the executable, specify the package name with the "package" field (i.e. "gpac" which provides the MP4Box executable). ### Add to Preinitializer Then in config/preinitializer.rb (create it if it doesn't exist, it's pulled automatically from boot.rb): require 'rubygems' require 'aptinstaller' AptInstaller.autopkg(:config => 'config/aptinstaller.yml') ## Installation ### Latest Stable sudo gem install ngauthier-aptinstaller ### Cutting Edge rake gem sudo gem install pkg/aptinstaller-x.y.z.gem ## Other Notes This gem uses Jeweler.
