cMeta automations to detect or install tools

[ Back to projects ]
[ Back ]

Every tool artifact the open-source repositories ship: an external program (compiler, runtime, CLI, library) that cx tool setup <name> detects on this machine or installs the same way on Linux, Windows and macOS - prebuilt binary first, then a package manager - and cx tool run <name> -- <args> runs.

The commands:

Install the repository once (cx repo get cTuningLabs@cmeta-aops) and every row below is a command on your machine. The category itself - its commands and API - is here.
