sprinter

Installation

It's recommended to use Sprinter's standalone installer:

OSX:

cd /tmp/; rm sprinter; curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/master/scripts/sandbox.sh > /tmp/sprinter; bash /tmp/sprinter

Debian-Based (e.g. Ubuntu):

cd /tmp/; rm sandbox.sh; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/master/scripts/sandbox.sh -O sandbox.sh; bash sandbox.sh

You can also install sprinter using easy_install or pip (not recommended, it's easier to update with the standalone):

(sudo) easy_install http://github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/tarball/master

(sudo) pip install http://github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/tarball/master

What is it?

A cross-platform environment bootstrapping framework!

Sprinter is a framework designed to making bootstrapping development environments easier. There are three main components to a usable sprinter environment:

This python egg, to fully utilize the framework
a sprinter.cfg file, which contains the configuration necessary to install features
sprinter formulas, which each feature uses as it's instruction manual on how to setup, update, and remove itself

Command list

Install an environment:

sprinter install ENVIRONMENT.cfg
sprinter install http://myenvironment.cfg

Install the environment specified in the environment.cfg file. It will update an environment if it already exists.:

sprinter update MY_ENVIRONMENT

Activate MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter activate MY_ENVIRONMENT

deactivate MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter deactivate MY_ENVIRONMENT

remove MY_ENVIRONMENT:

sprinter remove MY_ENVIRONMENT

Installing with brewed Python (OS X)

Brewed python (installed via brew install python), by default sets a prefix value in ~/.pydistutils.cfg. If this value is set, due to a bug in Python's setup tools, the Sprinter install will fail. To get around this issue do the following.

Remove all traces of brewed python:

brew uninstall python
brew uninstall pyenv-virtualenv

Manually move all virtualenv* files under /usr/local/bin to another folder:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/venv-old
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/virtualenv* /usr/local/bin/venv-old/

Open a new terminal tab and double-check that you're in a clean state:

which python # => /usr/bin/python
which virtualenv # => virtualenv not found

Install Python and virtualenv(wrapper):

brew install python --with-brewed-openssl
# Open a new terminal tab now (to access /usr/local/bin/python)
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper
