## Installation
|
||||
@ -44,22 +48,10 @@ PBot uses the [Perl programming language](https://www.perl.org/). Perl is usuall
|
||||
part of a base Linux install. If you do not have Perl installed, please see your
|
||||
system's documentation to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing CPAN modules
|
||||
Some of PBot's features depend on the availability of Perl modules written by
|
||||
third parties. To use such PBot features, the modules listed in the [`cpanfile`](../cpanfile)
|
||||
file need to be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
The CPAN modules may be installed with this command:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpanm -n --installdeps . --with-all-features --without-feature compiler_vm_win32
|
||||
|
||||
#### re::engine::RE2
|
||||
PBot uses the `re::engine::RE2` module for user-submitted regular expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
If you could not install it through CPAN, you must install it manually.

||||

||||

|
||||
* https://github.com/dgl/re-engine-RE2/
|
||||
If you do not have system administrator access, you can install Perl locally into
|
||||
your home directory using, .e.g., [perlbrew](https://metacpan.org/pod/perlbrew),
|
||||
[plenv](https://metacpan.org/release/TOKUHIROM/App-plenv-v1.2.0/view/bin/plenv),
|
||||
[plx](https://metacpan.org/pod/App::plx), etc.

There are a few one-time configuration things we must do to get PBot's environment
|
||||
ready. Once the following steps are completed there is no need to do them again.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing CPAN modules
|
||||
Some of PBot's features depend on the availability of Perl modules written by
|
||||
third parties. To use such PBot features, the modules listed in the [`cpanfile`](../cpanfile)
|
||||
file need to be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be a lengthly process as each module may itself have a certain amount of
|
||||
dependencies and sub-dependencies. Perl is an extremely collaborative community!
|
||||
Fortunately, you only need to install the CPAN modules once.
|
||||
|
||||
You must have `make`, `perl`, a C compiler, a C++ compiler, OpenSSL or LibreSSL
|
||||
or equivalent, `libssl-dev`, and other such tools and libraries installed.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installing cpanminus
|
||||
The [cpanminus](https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus) tool is a fast and
|
||||
lightweight way to install CPAN modules.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to install cpanminus. If you have `wget` instead of `curl`,
|
||||
then replace `curl -L` in the following commands with `wget -O -`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Option 1) Use your system package manager, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
$ apt install cpanminus
|
||||
|
||||
* Option 2) Install to `~/perl5` (if you used, e.g., perlbrew to install Perl):
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
|
||||
|
||||
* Option 3) Download the `cpanm` executable directly to `~/bin`:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ~/bin
|
||||
$ curl -L https://cpanmin.us/ -o cpanm
|
||||
$ chmod +x cpanm
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installing and using local::lib
|
||||
If you prefer to install the CPAN modules into `~/perl5` you can use [`local::lib`](https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib).
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed Perl with, e.g., perlbrew or if you have system administrator privilege and prefer to install the CPAN modules
|
||||
to the system Perl location, you may ignore this step.
|
||||
|
||||
The following command will install and set-up local::lib in `~/perl5`:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpanm --local-lib=~/perl5 local::lib && eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using cpanminus
|
||||
Ensure you have set your current working directory to where you have git cloned
|
||||
or unzipped PBot. There should be a [`cpanfile`](../cpanfile) in the current
|
||||
directory, along with [`lib/`](../lib) and [`script/`](../script) directories.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd pbot (or pbot-master)
|
||||
|
||||
The CPAN modules may be installed with (assuming you do not need Windows support):
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpanm -n --installdeps . --with-all-features --without-feature=compiler_vm_win32
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to install the bare minimum CPAN modules required for PBot's core functionality,
|
||||
you can use the following command. But be aware that several plugins and modules may not
|
||||
function.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpanm -n --installdeps .
|
||||
|
||||
You may then choose to install the missing CPAN modules on a feature-by-feature basis using:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpanm -n --installdeps . --with-feature=... --with-feature=...
|
||||
|
||||
where `...` is an optional PBot feature listed in PBot's [`cpanfile`](../cpanfile).
|
||||
|
||||
#### re::engine::RE2
|
||||
PBot uses the `re::engine::RE2` module for user-submitted regular expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
If you could not install it through CPAN, you must install it manually.
