It seems quite odd that you'd have OS X, Windows, but not Ubuntu instructions for installation?

This leaves end user digging through GitHub issues to find nearly no docs other than a recommended cargo install. I don't think anyone wants to compile from source either.

Am I wrong or is there no clear way to install on Ubuntu?

Also, you make a note about using curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh via #10 (comment), but that doesn't work either if the user already has rust installed on the OS. Also attempting to uninstall Rust is a nightmare, see https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5yk0hc/does_cleanly_uninstalling_rust_on_linux_have_to/.

This thread in general is so polluted with comments and confusion as well #10.

Also, if we tell users to use cargo to install it, perhaps that should be in the README in a clearly defined "Ubuntu Install "section?. There's a comment here to do that, but it's from January... #313 (comment)

Related: #355

Full output of cargo error I received:

I'm installing on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (on a stock Digital Ocean droplet). I had a bug trying to use cargo to install ripgrep.

Also I figured out how to get rust reinstalled...

sudo apt-get -y remove rustc
sudo apt-y autoremove
sudo -i
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | s

Then sudo apt-get install cargo && sudo cargo install ripgrep again.

Reference: https://www.howtodojo.com/2017/09/install-rust-ubuntu-16-04/

Although this still yields an error:

I used ack instead. This was way too complicated to try to install. Just debugging alone took over an hour.

The README explains how to get precompiled binaries. Otherwise there's not much else to be done with this issue. Thanks for the report.

I already explained why there aren't Ubuntu docs. I also pointed out at least twice that there are docs pointing to precompiled binaries, which should work on any Linux distro. Adding ripgrep to more package repos (including Ubuntu) is tracked by #10, which is exactly when I'll add Ubuntu docs. Until then, there's nothing Ubuntu specific about installing ripgrep.

You should at least make a mention of Ubuntu in the Readme. CMD+F "Ubuntu" is one of the first things power-users do.

FWIW, Ubuntu 17.04 here, cargo install ripgrep works just fine for me. I think rust was just installed with the curl command on the rust-lang website. (I use nix to install these days though, but thought I'd check).

It's pretty straightforward to install in Ubuntu. Here's a simple bash script for downloading the binary with wget and installing the man pages and bash completions.

#!/bin/bash
[[ $UID == 0 ]] || { echo "run as sudo to install"; exit 1; }
REPO="https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/download/"
RELEASE="0.6.0/ripgrep-0.6.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz"

TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
cd $TMPDIR
wget -O - ${REPO}${RELEASE} | tar zxf - --strip-component=1
mv rg /usr/local/bin/
mv rg.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
mv complete/rg.bash-completion /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rg
mandb

Edit: I've updated this script, with the current directory structure of the unzipped download and getting the latest release number from the github api, as suggested by grolongo in the next message. I use sed instead of jq to extract the tag value from the json response, since sed is installed in every linux/unix distro.

#!/bin/bash
[[ $UID == 0 ]] || { echo "run as sudo to install"; exit 1; }
REPO="BurntSushi/ripgrep"
LATEST=$(curl -sSL "https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO}/releases/latest"\
  | sed -n '/tag_name/s/[^0-9.]//gp')
FILE="${LATEST}/ripgrep-${LATEST}-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz"
DOWNLOAD="https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/download/${FILE}"
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)

cd $TMPDIR
wget --show-progress -q -O - ${DOWNLOAD} | tar zxf - --strip-component=1
cp rg /usr/local/bin/
cp doc/rg.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
cp complete/rg.bash /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rg
mandb -q

@haakenlid you could even make it better by grabbing the latest version number like this:

RG_LATEST=$(curl -sSL "https://api.github.com/repos/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/latest" | jq --raw-output .tag_name)
RELEASE="${RG_LATEST}/ripgrep-${RG_LATEST}-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz"

This way you don't have to manually edit your script each time a new release is out.

I've updated @haakenlid answer in combination with yours @grolongo. For any users wishing to install ripgrep (latest version) on Ubuntu (and can't use snap yet) you can do so by:

  1. Install the jq package via sudo apt-get install -y jq
  2. Run this command to install the latest version of ripgrep:
curl -o- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/niftylettuce/a9f0a293289eb7274516bf2cb0455796/raw/8491560fd53c98ee85a2f9916000167190113b52/install-ripgrep-on-ubuntu.sh | sudo bash

Install script is located at: https://gist.github.com/niftylettuce/a9f0a293289eb7274516bf2cb0455796
