Linux

Installation via a script

Here’s a simple script to download the binary automatically. It works on mac OS X, FreeBSD and Linux:

curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile/master/install.sh | sh

It should copy resticprofile in a bin directory under your current directory.

If you need more control, you can save the shell script and run it manually:

curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile/master/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh -b /usr/local/bin

It will install resticprofile in /usr/local/bin/

Installation with homebrew for Linux

There’s a Linux homebrew tap for resticprofile:

brew tap creativeprojects/tap
brew install resticprofile

You can also install restic at the same time with --with-restic flag:

brew install resticprofile --with-restic

You can test that resticprofile is properly installed (make sure you have restic installed or the test will fail):

brew test resticprofile

Upgrading resticprofile installed via homebrew is very easy:

brew update
brew upgrade resticprofile

Note on installing on Linux via Homebrew

When testing homebrew after spinning new Linux virtual machines, I noticed resticprofile wouldn’t install without a compiler installed on the machine. Even though resticprofile is distributed as a binary, it looks like homebrew needs access to a compiler.

Depending on your distribution you will need to install gcc:

• sudo yum install gcc
• sudo apt install gcc
