iRODS Client - iCommands

This repository hosts the client iCommands, the default command line interface to iRODS.

Build

To build the iCommands, you will need the irods-dev and irods-runtime packages.

This is a CMake project and can be built with:

cd irods_client_icommands
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja ../
ninja package

Install

The packages produced by CMake will install the ~50 iCommands, by default, into /usr/bin.

Build without any Package Repositories

If you need to build the iRODS iCommands without the use of any APT/YUM repositories, it will be necessary to build all the dependencies yourself. The steps include:

1. Download, build, and install packages from https://github.com/irods/externals
2. Update your PATH to include the newly built CMake
3. Download, build, and install irods-dev(el) and irods-runtime from https://github.com/irods/irods
4. Download, build, and install irods-icommands from https://github.com/irods/irods_client_icommands

Our dependency chain will shorten as older distributions age out.

The current setup supports new C++ features on those older distributions.
