Installation
Let's begin with the installation of the RuyiSDK package manager.
This document uses ~ to represent the home directory of the current regular user, and /home/myhone as an example of the absolute path to the home directory when necessary.
Installing Using Precompiled Binaries
Currently, the RuyiSDK package manager tool provides precompiled binaries for Linux systems in three architectures: amd64, arm64, and riscv64. It does not depend on the system Python, making it widely applicable.
These binaries are released on both GitHub Release and the ISCAS mirror site:
Using the ISCAS mirror as an example, the installation process is described below. First, run uname -m to check the system architecture and download the corresponding binary.
If the output is x86_64:
$ wget https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/ruyisdk/ruyi/releases/0.26.0/ruyi.amd64
If the output is aarch64:
$ wget https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/ruyisdk/ruyi/releases/0.26.0/ruyi.arm64
If the output is riscv64:
$ wget https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/ruyisdk/ruyi/releases/0.26.0/ruyi.riscv64
The following example assumes the x86_64 architecture. Grant execution permissions to the downloaded binary:
$ chmod +x ./ruyi.amd64
Install the binary to a directory included in PATH:
$ sudo cp -v ruyi.amd64 /usr/local/bin/ruyi
If your PATH includes the ~/.local/bin/ directory, installing ruyi to ~/.local/bin/ruyi may be a more recommended choice. Installation and removal in this directory do not require superuser privileges.
Note that the binary file must be named ruyi.
Installing Using the System Package Manager
Currently, Arch Linux users can install and uninstall the Ruyi package manager using the system package manager. Compared to installing with precompiled binaries, this method offers more convenient maintenance and better performance by utilizing the system Python.
To install from the AUR, using yay as an example, note that a regular user should be used:
$ yay -S ruyi
To install from the Arch Linux CN repository, add the following configuration using the ISCAS open-source mirror as an example:
[archlinuxcn]
Server = https://mirror.iscas.ac.cn/archlinuxcn/$arch
Install using pacman:
$ sudo pacman -Sy
$ sudo pacman -S ruyi
Verifying Your Installation
$ ruyi version
The command should run successfully and print version and Copyright information. If it fails, check your system environment or retry the installation.
