Binbrew

Binbrew installs pre-built binary dependencies (from Github). It's primary use case is to help setting up development environments and allow to use the same tools in CI environments as well.

Installation

Add the following to your installation scripts:

export BINBREW_VERSION=0.1.0
curl -sfL https://git.io/binbrew | bash -s -- -b ./bin/ v${BINBREW_VERSION}

To install the latest version simply omit the version:

curl -sfL https://git.io/binbrew | bash -s -- -b ./bin/

Note: Binbrew is still under heavy development, so it's recommended to lock onto a specific version.

Use it in your Makefile:

BINBREW_VERSION = 0.1.0
bin/binbrew: bin/binbrew-${BINBREW_VERSION}
	@ln -sf binbrew-${BINBREW_VERSION} bin/binbrew
bin/binbrew-${BINBREW_VERSION}:
	@mkdir -p bin
	curl -sfL https://git.io/binbrew | bash -s -- -b ./bin/ v${BINBREW_VERSION}
	@mv bin/binbrew $@
