Installing Perl on Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix. Install the perl with the following shell commands. Tar -xzf perl-5.10.1.tar.gz cd perl-5.10.1./Configure -de. Getting Started with Perl on Mac OS X. Home › Articles › Code Mojo. If you have ever thought about getting into programming on your Mac, Perl is a great place to start! Preparing for Perl. All you will need for this primer is a text editor, the terminal, and Perl.
Chmod +a 'user: allow addsubdirectory,addfile,deletechild,directoryinherit' /Library/Python/3.y/site-packages will let you add packages to Python 3.y as yourself, which is probably safer than changing the group ownership of the directory. So why was I using sudo? One reason is executables go in /usr/local/bin. Usually this isn’t a writable location. But if you installed Homebrew as we recommend, /usr/local will be writable without sudo.
So now you are good to install the development tools you need without risking the use of sudo. Python packages (eggs) without sudo Rather than changing the rights on /Library/Python, we recommend the following options: With a brewed Python Note, easyinstall is deprecated. We install pip (or pip2 for Python 2) along with python/python2. We set up distutils such that pip install will always put modules in $(brew -prefix)/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages and scripts in $(brew -prefix)/share/python.
Therefore, you won’t need sudo! Do brew info python or brew info python@2 for precise information about the paths. Note, a brewed Python still searches for modules in /Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages and also in /Library/Python/X.Y/lib/python/site-packages. With system’s Python This is only recommended if you don’t use a brewed Python.
On macOS, any. That dir might not yet exist, but you can create it.
install installlib = /Library/Python/$pyversionshort/lib/python/site-packages Using virtualenv (works with brewed and system’s Python) ships pip and creates isolated Python environments with separate site-packages, therefore you won’t need sudo. Rubygems without sudo If you use rbenv or RVM then you should ignore this stuff Brewed Ruby installs executables to $(brew -prefix)/opt/ruby/bin without sudo. You should add this to your path. See the caveats in the ruby formula for up-to-date information. With system’s Ruby To make Ruby install to /usr/local, we need to add gem: -n/usr/local/bin to your /.gemrc. It’s YAML, so do it manually or use this.
Eval $(perl -I $HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib ) Now (after you restart your shell) cpan or perl -MCPAN -eshell etc. Will install modules and binaries in /perl5 and the relevant subdirectories will be in your PATH and PERL5LIB etc.
Avoiding sudo altogether for Perl If you don’t even want (or can’t) use sudo for bootstrapping local::lib, just manually install local::lib in /perl5 and add the relevant path to PERL5LIB before the.bashrc eval incantation. Another alternative is to use perlbrew to install a separate copy of Perl in your home directory, or wherever you like.
