Pre-built binaries

The official syntax for download of the latest fresh-editor release is associated with x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz,

wget -qO- "$(
  curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/sinelaw/fresh/releases/latest \
  | grep '"browser_download_url"' \
  | grep 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz"' \
  | head -n1 \
  | cut -d '"' -f 4
)" | tar xJ --strip-components=1 -C . -f -
 

which requires higher version of GLIBC, so it is necesssary to get the static release

wget -qO- "$(
  curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/sinelaw/fresh/releases/latest \
  | grep '"browser_download_url"' \
  | grep 'x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz"' \
  | head -n1 \
  | cut -d '"' -f 4
)" | tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 -C .
 

Some earlier versions has fresh-editor-no-plugins prefix. In both cases, an apparent permission issue is reported (module load ceuadmin/fresh;which fresh; shows that fresh is not found) and fixed with chmod -R a+r fresh/0.1.42, so we get around with --strip-components=1.

Compiling from source

This is preferable though slightly more involved.

version="$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/sinelaw/fresh/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name | sed 's/^v//')"
wget -qO- https://github.com/sinelaw/fresh/archive/refs/tags/v${version}.tar.gz | \
tar fvxz -
cd fresh-${version}
module load ceuadmin/rust/nightly
export PREFIX=$CEUADMIN/fresh/${version}
mkdir -p "$PREFIX"
cargo build --release
cp target/release/fresh ${PREFIX}
# earlier version
# cargo install --path . --root "$PREFIX"
 

Environmental variables

Until 0.1.77, the following chunk has been used.

rsync -av plugins themes queries types config.example.json $PREFIX/

where module definitions use

setenv FRESH_HOME $root
setenv FRESH_PLUGINS_DIR $root/plugins
setenv FRESH_THEMES_DIR  $root/themes
setenv FRESH_QUERIES_DIR $root/queries
setenv FRESH_TYPES_DIR   $root/types
setenv FRESH_CONFIG $root/config.example.json
 

Usage notes

There are numerous features, such as mouse cursor to set position, Ctrl-E to open files from a directory tree (as in ceuadmin/edit), Ctrl-P to bring up the command panel, setting terminal display themes and key binding styles.
