README
Shards
Dependency manager for the Crystal language.
Usage
Crystal applications and libraries are expected to have a shard.yml file
at their root looking like this:
name: shards
version: 0.1.0
dependencies:
openssl:
github: datanoise/openssl.cr
branch: master
development_dependencies:
minitest:
git: https://github.com/ysbaddaden/minitest.cr.git
version: ~> 0.3.1
license: MIT
When libraries are installed from Git repositories, the repository is expected
to have version tags following a semver-like format,
prefixed with a v. Examples: v1.2.3, v2.0.0-rc1 or v2017.04.1.
Please see the SPEC
for more details about the shard.yml format.
Install
Shards is usually distributed with Crystal itself (e.g. Homebrew and Debian
packages). Alternatively, a shards package may be available for your system.
You can download a source tarball from the same page (or clone the repository)
then run make CRFLAGS=--releaseand copy bin/shards into your PATH. For
example /usr/local/bin.
You are now ready to create a shard.yml for your projects (see details in
SPEC). You can type
shards init to have an example shard.yml file created for your project.
Run shards install to install your dependencies, which will lock your
dependencies into a shard.lock file. You should check both shard.yml and
shard.lock into version control, so further shards install will always
install locked versions, achieving reproducible installations across computers.
Run shards --help to list other commands with their options.
Happy Hacking!
Requirements
These requirements are only for compiling Shards.
- Crystal
Please refer to http://crystal-lang.org/docs/installation for instructions for your operating system.
- libyaml
On Debian/Ubuntu Linux you may install the libyaml-dev package.
On Mac OS X you may install it using homebrew with brew install libyaml
then make sure to have /usr/local/lib in your LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable (eg: export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH").
Please adjust the path per your Homebrew installation.
