is to use get-eggs repository.
Method1: using get-eggs (Arch/Debian/Devuan/Ubuntu)
The get-eggs command is used to add the penguins-eggs-ppa
repository, nodesource repository - when need - and configure
penguins-eggs on Arch, Debian, Devuan, Ubuntu, or their
derivatives.
You need just a prerequisites: git. If you don't have git installed, just install it before:
sudo apt install git on Debian, or sudo pacman -Sy git for Arch,
Here's how you can use it, just copy and paste:
git clone https://github.com/pieroproietti/get-eggs
cd get-eggs
sudo ./get-eggs
By executing sudo ./get-eggs with root privileges, it will add
the necessary repositories to your system. On Arch Linux, it will
add the chaotic-aur repository while on Debian-based systems, including Devuan and
Ubuntu, it will add penguins-eggs-ppa.
Not only, get-eggs will take cure to add nodesource repository ,
when nodejs>18 is not available on the original repositories of the distro.
Please note that running scripts with root privileges should be done

If you prefer not to include the penguins-eggs-ppa
repository in your system's repositories, you have an alternative
method to install the eggs package. Follow these steps:

Using penguins-eggs from the source code can indeed provide benefits
such as easier debugging and the ability to review the code running on
your machine. It can also offer greater security and the potential
for collaboration on the project. Here are the steps to install and
use penguins-eggs from the source code:
- Install the required dependencies, including Node.js >18 and
the pnpm package manager.
On Debian/Devuan/Ubuntu, can be necessary to configure and use the NodeSource
repository to install Node.js > 18.x.
On Arch, a sudo pacman -Syu nodejs, will be enpught, on Manjaro, you can
run the following command: sudo pamac install nodejs pnpm devel-base
- Once nodejs and npm are installed, you can
install pnpm globally by running the following command:
sudo npm i pnpm -g
- Clone the penguins-eggs source code repository by running the
following command:
git clone https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs
- Change your current directory to the penguins-eggs directory:
cd penguins-eggs
- Install the project dependencies using pnpm by running the following
command:
sudo pnpm install
Note that pnpm is used instead of the traditional npm command, which
allows for faster compilation.
Once the installation is complete, you can
use penguins-eggs directly from the source code. For example, to
run the produce command with verbose output, you can use the following
command:
sudo ./eggs produce --verbose
Please note that when using the source code, you need to specify the
path to start eggs as /eggs, and you should launch it from
the ~/penguins-eggs directory.
The functionality remains the same as when using precompiled packages,
but you have the advantage of being able to interact with the
code directly.
Keep in mind that using the source code requires some technical
knowledge and may involve additional steps compared to using precompiled
packages.
Another advantage of using source code, come from the possibility to create your
de packages. Just use:
cd penguins-eggs
pnpm deb
you will get your package under ./perrisbrewery/work....
Updating penguins-eggs
If you are on Debian and configured the penguins-eggs-ppa repository, then you can use just sudo apt update to update penguins-eggs.
The same on Arch with chaoric-aur or in Manjaro using community repo, with:
sudo pacman -Syu
