This page describes general install process of sup.

If your OS is not listed in Home#Platform-specific-instructions, this page might be helpful.

C libraries

The following C libraries and their header files are required. It's recommended to install them via your system's native package manager like rpm.

ncursesw
uuid
zlib

Also, a C/C++ compiler like GCC or clang is needed.

Ruby

Sup runs on MRI Ruby. Ruby versions from 2.0 onwards are supported, but only 2.4+ are regularly tested.

Also, ruby's header files are required since we need to build some extenions.

You can install Ruby via either your system's native package manager or 3rd-party tools like rvm or rbenv.

Other dependencies in Ruby

Now you can just install sup via gem i sup and rubygems can install all dependencies in Ruby automatically.

If you're running sup from source, see Running from git#Install-dependencies-in-Ruby for how to install dependencies via bundler.
