Installing a release

Installing through the repository

If you want to update paraview along with your distribution packages, just run the following commands once:

$ su
# echo 'repository=https://github.com/muezabdalla/paraview-void/releases/latest/download/' > /etc/xbps.d/30-paraview.conf
# xbps-install -Su paraview

Building from source

Preparing the environment

Clone the void-packages repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages

Change to the new void-packages folder and proceed to build the bootstrap:

$ cd void-packages
$ ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap

Downloading the package

$ git clone https://github.com/muezabdalla/paraview-void.git

Once you have cloned the repository, copy the contents inside the srcpkgs folder into the void-packages srcpkgs folder.

Building the package

Once the bootstrap is ready, it's time to build the package with:

$ ./xbps-src pkg <pkgname>

After a while, the above step will create a binary in hostdir/binpkgs named <pkgname>-<version>_<revision>.<arch>.xbps.

Installing

Once the package is successfully built and in the hostdir/binpkgs directory you can install it with:

# xbps-install -R hostdir/binpkgs <package>

Keeping your environment up-to-date

Before compiling Librewolf, it is recommended that you update your environment to ensure you have the latest changes. This involves updating your local void-packages repository and then updating the bootstrap packages.

Updating the repository

Update your local void-packages repository to the latest version:

$ git pull origin master

Updating the bootstrap packages

Sometimes, you may need to update the bootstrap packages to the latest version available in the repositories. To do this run:

$ ./xbps-src bootstrap-update
