Post releases #7

Closed dzfranklin closed 4 years ago

dzfranklin commented 4 years ago

I'm very interested in trying this out, but not willing to run code as root to build a browser extension (required to install crystal-lang). Do you have any plans to post releases in the near future?

Best, Daniel

You don’t have to be root to build Krabby. Just install the dependencies and run make install as a user.

I’m not sure about releases. After installing, it’s your own Krabby that you build (Krabby never retouches your ~/.config/krabby). You can learn more about the file structure at Configuration.

The depe!dency crystal-lang has the requirement

alexherbo2 commented 4 years ago

It’s a complaint about the dependencies then, not really Krabby requiring root.

To compile the application (native messaging) part, Crystal or Docker is required.

You can choose one of the following options:

make install
make install static=yes

Yes. I didn't realize the application involved native messaging, through it just built an application.
