🚀 One-Line installers for Tools and Applications

---

📌 Overview

Installer64 is a collection of one-line installers designed to quickly deploy tools and applications in ephemeral environments (containers, CI/CD runners, etc.), and regular operating systems.

⚠️ Important Note: Installer64 is not a package manager. It aims to provided a single step, non-interactive automated deployment experience regardless of the tool's installation method.

📦 Installation

Minimum Requirements

• Bash V4: used by installer scripts.
• Sudo: most installers will require privileged execution. Used if not already running as root.
• Curl or Wget, Tar and GZip: used to download and unpack Installer64 and BashLib64

Installation

Install directly from the repository:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/automation64/installer64/main/src/bootstrap | sh

---

🚀 Usage

• Select a tool installer from: /opt/installer64
• (Optional) Customize installation parameters.
• Run the system-wide installer:

sudo -E /opt/installer64/install-APPLICATION_NAME

• Or the user-wide installer:

/opt/installer64/install-APPLICATION_NAME

🏗️ Architecture

Standard directory structure

Installer64 is configured by default to use the following standard directory structure:

• System-wide installations:
  • /opt: base destination for installations
  • /opt/<APPLICATION>: application installation directory.
  • /usr/local/bin: standard searchable path where application binaries are published to
• User-wide installations:
  • $HOME/at64: base destination for installations
  • $HOME/at64/<APPLICATION>: application installation directory.
  • $HOME/.local/bin: standard searchable path where application binaries are published to

Base Installer64 parameters

Installer64 scripts can be customized using the following parameters as shell environment variables:

• INST64_BASHLIB64: Bashlib64 location. Default: /opt/bl64
• INST64_CLI_PROMOTE: Create symlink to searchable path?. Default: YES
• INST64_DEBUG: Enable script debugging?. Default: NO
• INST64_LOCAL_BIN: Searchable path for system-wide executables. Default: /usr/local/bin
• INST64_LOCAL_ROOT: Linux well-known base path for local content. Default: /usr/local
• INST64_OPT_ROOT: Linux well-known base path for non-os packaged content. Default: /opt
• INST64_REFRESH_PACKAGE_MANAGER: Refresh package manager before installation and cleanup after?. Default: YES
