Installation

Maze CLI offers you a set of command line tools to create, generate, scaffold and run your projects easily and fast.

Linux

Ensure you have the necessary dependencies:

• Git: Use your platform specific package manager to install git

• Crystal: Follow the instructions to get crystal on this page: Crystal Installation

• NodeJS and Webpack: node is an optional dependency and is used to compile JavaScript and other assets.

• PostgreSQL: postgres is a relational database server. Maze configures applications to use this database adapter by default, but you can switch to MySQL by passing the flag --database mysql when creating a new application.

Once you have these dependencies, You can build the maze tool from source:

From Source

Download and install maze

curl -L https://github.com/mazeframework/maze/archive/stable.tar.gz | tar xz
cd maze-stable/
make
sudo make install

If you run into an issue on compiling regarding Unhandled exception in spawn: fork: Cannot allocate memory it means you don't have enough memory. This can easily be solved by adding a swapfile.

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=2k count=1024k
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

For Debian & Ubuntu

• These are necessary to compile the CLI:

• sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev

For RedHat & CentOS

• sudo yum install readline-devel sqlite-devel openssl-devel libyaml-devel gc-devel libevent-devel
