MetaCall Polyglot Runtime

Abstract

Cross-platform set of scripts to install MetaCall Core infrastructure. For advanced install information, check the documentation.

Install

The following scripts are provided in order to install MetaCall:

• install.sh bash or zsh | Linux or MacOS

• install.ps1 PowerShell | Windows

In order to install MetaCall in one line, curl or wget or powershell can be used:

• curl:

  curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh

• wget:

  wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh

• powershell:

  powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; &([scriptblock]::Create((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.ps1')))"

Install Linux or MacOS

Additional parameters for the install script:

• --update: Updates automatically MetaCall if it is already installed without asking to the user.
• --uninstall: Uninstalls MetaCall if it is already installed without asking to the user. Overwrites the update command.
• --docker-install: Runs Docker installation overwriting Docker fallback option over binary installation.
• --no-check-certificate: When running binary installation (the default one), disables checking certificates when downloading the tarball. Useful for environments where there is not certificates, but insecure.
• --no-docker-fallback: When running binary installation (the default one), disables Docker installation as fallback if the binary installation fails.
• --from-path <path>: Installs MetaCall from specific path, the <path> points to a previously download tarball located in your file system.

Example usage:

• Install with curl without checking certificates and without docker fallback:

  curl --insecure -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh -s -- --no-check-certificate --no-docker-fallback

• Install with wget using Docker installer:

  wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh -s -- --docker-install

• Install with wget from a existing tarball located at /root/downloads/metacall-tarball-linux-amd64.tar.gz:

  wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh -s -- --from-path /root/downloads/metacall-tarball-linux-amd64.tar.gz

• Install metacall in a BusyBox without certificates:

  wget --no-check-certificate -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.sh | sh -s -- --no-check-certificate

Install Windows

Additional parameters for the install script:

• -InstallDir <directory>: Defines a custom folder in order to install MetaCall in, otherwise it uses %LocalAppData%\MetaCall by default.
• -Version <version>: Version of the tarball to be downloaded. Versions are available here. Uses latest version by default.

Example usage:

• Install tarball version v0.1.0 into D:\metacall:

  powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; &([scriptblock]::Create((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metacall/install/master/install.ps1'))) -InstallDir 'D:\metacall' -Version '0.1.0'"
