No such method 'remove-artifacts' for invocant of type

[decoursin]

I'm completely new to zef and raku.

I tried both installs, manual and using rakubrew, both failed with:

No such method 'remove-artifacts' for invocant of type

I also tried using the most recent tag v0.20.0 and still had the same problem.

I'm on Linux Mint 21.

Is that the entire error? i.e. it doesn't tell you what type it is referring to?

fwiw rakubrew works for me:

What version of raku does raku -v show? What is the output of raku -e 'say $*REPO.repo-chain.map({ $_ => .?candidates(CompUnit::DependencySpecification.new(:short-name<CompUnit::Repository::Staging>)) })'?

Here's the entire output of running rakubrew build-zef

I was able to solve the problem by doing this:

sudo apt remove rakudo
rakubrew download moar 2023.10
rakubrew build-zef

Feel free to close the issue. Thanks again!
