Brew Sdkman
With brew is just too complicated to easily switch between several versions of Grails or Scala, otherwise people would simply use brew for those parts too instead of SDKMAN:). The same is true for Node, Ruby etc. people use brew to install something that is a 'package version manager' (nvm, rvm) since it's much easier to manage and switch. Brew install gradle To upgrade. Brew upgrade gradle (using Homebrew of course) Also see (finally) updated docs. 2: Another alternative is to use sdkman. An advantage of sdkman over brew is that many versions of gradle are supported. (brew only supports the latest version and 2.14.) To install sdkman execute.
I must admit it after years of trying to avoid writing script shells: I'm not a big fan of bash.Sure you can do amazing things when you become a script guru but for someone who spends his life trying to writereadable code, it feels a bit unnatural.
$ brew update $ brew install kotlin Installation via SDKMAN! Another simple way of installing the Kotlin compiler on macOS, Linux, Cygwin, FreeBSD and Solaris is by using SDKMAN! Launch the terminal and issue the following commands $ curl -s bash. Is it possible to install jre6 using brew or sdkman? I tried: $ brew install jre6 Updating Homebrew. Error: No available formula with the name 'jre6' $ brew install java6 Searching taps. Searching taps on GitHub. Error: No formulae found in taps. % brew search java Formulae app-engine-java java javacc jslint4java pdftk-java google-java-format java11 javarepl libreadline-java 2.3 The Java 8 is available at the openjdk@8 formula. The openjdk is the same as the java formula, and it always contains the latest JDK GA version; the openjdk@11 is the same as the java11 formula, containing.
So it was with great pleasure and a bit of excitation that I began playing with the new kid in the shell block:fish.
After a few weeks of practice, I can tell you that I love it.Here are a few tips to get you started using fish.
Installation
The following command will install fish:
To add it as an available shell, you should sudo vi /etc/shells and add the following line /usr/local/bin/fish.Now to use it as default, type:
Configure you shell
First thing you can do is to configure fish. Type:
You will be brought to a web page where you can configure your prompt and various options of fish.Personally, I use the Classic + Git prompt which is still minimalist but will display useful information when youare inside a git repository.
You can see right away one of the big pros of fish: it is very fast, easy to customize and has very good defaults.
Install oh my fish
There is one small problem with fish: it is not compatible with POSIX.This means that you cannot directly use bash commands or scripts directly in fish.
Of course, you can invoke bash inside of fish: bash my-command.But there is a simpler solution for a handful of very handy scripts called oh-my-fish.
Oh-my-fish allows you to use plugins (some kind of functions with shell loading hooks) to easilycustomize your shell.
Follow the very simple installation instructions.This will create a new fish configuration.The main configuration file in fish is located in ~/.config/fish/config.fish and it will be replaced by oh-my-fish (itwill be backed up don't worry).
In a nutshell, installing oh-my-fish will add the following line to your config:
Navigate with z
If you don't know z, try it out immediately, it is guaranteed to change your life.It will allow you to navigate to the most frequent directories with fuzzy commands.
For instance, issuing z fun would bring me to /Users/geowarin/.configfish/functions since it is a directory I oftenvisit.
To install it:
This will install z… For bash.
This is where oh-my-fish comes into play.Simply install the z plugin with:
Backward history search with re-search
One of the most useful features of bash is the ability to search a term in your recent history with CTRL + R.This feature is not enabled by default but somebody wrote a little program called re-search.
Follow the instructions to install it.You will have to git clone it, make, add it to the path, add a function to fish and finally define a keyboard shortcut tocall it.
Those are really interesting steps. To add something to the path, open ~/.config/fish/config.fish and use theset function:
This will add ~/bin to the path, you can put re-search in there.
To add a function, you simply have to add files to ~/.config/fish/functions.The functions contained in the files of this directory will automatically be loaded by fish.
Finally you can see it is very easy to bind a function to a shortcut simply by editing ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish
Define your own functions
The final step to your fish initiation is to define your own functions.I might not be super fluent with bash but I was able to define my own functions when I had something repetitive to do.
One thing I like is to directly cd into a directory I created.A simple solution with bash is to define a function that will do something like this:
With fish, simply create a file in ~/.config/fish/functions and write:
You can see that fish syntax is actually pretty simple.
Another thing I like is to define a variable linking to a binary before invoking it, like this:
This will allow you to invoke Libre Office in command line to convert a file from one format to another:
A last one, invoke a web server in the current directory and open it in the browser:
Working around POSIX limitation with bash -c
In simple cases, you can get pretty far by calling bash scripts withbash -c.
A tool I love is sdkman, which will manage JVM-based binarieslike groovy or gradle.
Just add the following function in fish:
I also wanted the current versions of the binaries managed by skdman to be in mypath so I added the following to my config.fish:
Working around POSIX limitation with bass
In most cases, you will find good plugins compatible with oh-my-fish.If it is not the case, I have found bass to beincredibly useful.
It is a simple python wrapper that will call scripts in bash and pass in and outenvironment variables.
Simply git clone the project and use make to install it.
I have used it successfully to make nvmcompatible with fish.
For nvm, I added the following function:
Here you go! I hope this will help you get started with fish.
Brew Uninstall Sdkman
- How to Install
For each environment
Brew Sdkman
- For all Un*x platform
- Only for Mac OS X
- Only for Linux
- Only for Windows
- For Anywhere:
Install by SDKMAN
You can install the latest GroovyServ:
Then, you can use just groovyclient and a groovyserver just after the installation. For example:
When you run the same command again, it works well expectedly:
The binary package includes binary files of user commands only for Mac OS X, Linux(amd64/i386) and Windows. In case that you want to install to other environments, you can easily build the commands if there is go command. See How to build.
Install by Homebrew
You can install the latest GroovyServ:
Install from a binary package
Download and expand a GroovyServ binary package from Download page.
You should add the expanded bin directory to PATH environment variable. For example in bash/bourne shell:
The binary package includes binary files of user commands only for Mac OS X, Linux(amd64/i386) and Windows. In case that you want to install to other environments, you can easily build the commands if there is go command. See How to build.
Install from a RPM package
Currently we don’t provide a RPM package officially. But there is a contributed SPEC file which is required to build a RPM file. So you can try to build it if you want. See Build RPM file.
Version 1.2.0
