Installing
There are various ways to install Rymdport. This page lists the recommended options.
There is a Flatpak package available on flathub.org. This option is recommended for Linux users as it includes everything required and can both be installed as well as updated easily. The package works on all Linux distributions and gets updated together with all other Flatpak packages on the system. This package is official, verified and maintained by Jacalz.
Rymdport is also available through a couple of Linux distributions' package managers. The list of supported distributions can be found in the table below. Installation steps vary from package manager to package manager and are outside of the scope of this wiki.
Each release (the latest can be found here) has official release binaries that can be found under the Assets section. The downloaded and extracted Linux files can be both installed and uninstalled using the included Makefile script.
You can choose to either install inside the home folder (recommended) without requiring sudo permissions or install system-wide.
Choose one of the commands below depending on what you prefer.
make user-install
sudo make install
Corresponding uninstall commands for user and system installation:
make user-uninstall
sudo make uninstall
Rymdport dues not currently provide official binaries to install. You can build it locally by following the Compiling wiki and then installing using the Makefile as mentioned above.
If you wish for official release binaries to become available, you can comment here to show that there are BSD users that would like to see cross-compilation support added.
You can download the latest official macOS binaries from here. These can be installed by simply extracting the downloaded file and the dragging Rymdport to the Applications folder.
Binaries that are not signed with an official Apple certificate and downloaded from the web are put into quarantine by macOS on the new M1/M2 computers (Apple computers with Intel CPUs do not exhibit this behavior). To solve this, you need to remove the quarantine attribute from the application (replacing <path to .app> with the application path):
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine <path to .app>
If this does not work, the amd64 binaries work just fine through the Rosetta 2 comparability layer.
You can download the latest official binary from here. There is not currently any installer available but the binary is self-contained and can run as it is. Simply place it wherever you wish to have it and then run it.
