Installing Using a Package Manager

Work is in progress to enable build and installing Clasp/Cando from package managers such as apt-get, brew, etc. Currently, the only supported package is the Arch AUR package. If you are using MacOS or a non-Arch based Linux distribution you will need to build Clasp/Cando from source or use one of the nightly binary builds detailed below.

Installing on Arch using a AUR helper

Installing Clasp on Arch can be done using an AUR helper such as yay. Building in this manner using the clasp-cl-git package will build Clasp while cando-git will build Clasp and Cando. If you do not have yay installed you can install via the following commands.

pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Once yay is installed you can installation Clasp with yay clasp-cl-git or Clasp and Cando with yay cando-git.

Installing from the Nightly Homebrew Tap

Binary packages for MacOS Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey are available from the clasp-developers/clasp tap. Binary packages for Clasp and Cando are built nightly starting about 2:00 AM EST and take about 4 hours to complete. To install Clasp do the following:

brew install clasp-developers/clasp/clasp-cl

To install Cando do the following

brew install clasp-developers/clasp/cando

These Homebrew formula can be built from source by adding the --build-from-source option and can be built directly the most recent commit by adding the --HEAD option.

Installing from the Nightly Linux Package Repository

Binary packages for Clasp and Cando for Linux are built nightly starting about 2:00 AM EST and take about 4 hours to complete. Currently packages are built for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian Bookworm (in testing), and Arch. To add the package repository to your local system and install either Clasp or Cando execute one of the following commands in a shell. You may need to prefix these commands with sudo for root access.

• Clasp

  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/clasp.sh)"

• Cando

  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/cando.sh)"

If these scripts fail to detect your Operating System then you can install manually via one of the following.

• Debian Bookworm
  • Clasp

    curl -fsSL https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/key.gpg | gpg --yes --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/thirdlaw.gpg
    add-apt-repository "deb https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/bookworm/ ./"
    apt-get update
    apt-get install clasp-cl

  • Cando

    curl -fsSL https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/key.gpg | gpg --yes --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/thirdlaw.gpg
    add-apt-repository "deb https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/bookworm/ ./"
    apt-get update
    apt-get install cando

• Ubunty Jammy
  • Clasp

    curl -fsSL https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/key.gpg | gpg --yes --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/thirdlaw.gpg

    apt-get update
    apt-get install clasp-cl

  • Cando

    add-apt-repository "deb https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/jammy/ ./"
    apt-get update
    apt-get install cando

    echo -e "\n[thirdlaw]\nServer = https://www.thirdlaw.tech/pkg/arch\n" >>/etc/pacman.conf
    pacman -Sy --noconfirm clasp-cl-git
