rakudo-pkg

rakudo-pkg offers native Linux 64-bit packages of the Rakudo compiler/runtime for Raku and the zef module installer. The packages track the upstream releases closely. Most of the time, the packages will be released on the same day as the Rakudo sources. At the moment, packages are provided for Alpine, Debian, EL (RHEL/CentOS/Amazon/Oracle Linux), Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu and their derivatives. Additionally, a relocatable build is also provided that works universally on all recent Linux distributions without the need of installation or root privileges.

The easiest way to install and update Rakudo is by using the rakudo-pkg repositories (hosted at CloudSmith):
