pony-stable

A simple dependency manager for the Pony language.

Too many ponies to keep track of?

Put them in a stable and make your life easier.

Get stable.

You will need ponyc in your PATH.

For Unix:

git clone https://github.com/ponylang/pony-stable
cd pony-stable
make
sudo make install

For Windows:

git clone https://github.com/ponylang/pony-stable
cd pony-stable
make.bat

You will then need to add pony-stable\bin to your PATH.

Make a project with dependencies.

GitHub

mkdir myproject && cd myproject

stable add github jemc/pony-inspect

echo '
use "inspect"
actor Main
  new create(env: Env) =>
    env.out.print(Inspect("Hello, World!"))
' > main.pony

Local git project

mkdir myproject && cd myproject

stable add local-git ../pony-inspect --tag=1.0.2

echo '
use "inspect"
actor Main
  new create(env: Env) =>
    env.out.print(Inspect("Hello, World!"))
' > main.pony

The git tag is optional.

Local (non-git) project

mkdir myproject && cd myproject

stable add local ../pony-inspect

echo '
use "inspect"
actor Main
  new create(env: Env) =>
    env.out.print(Inspect("Hello, World!"))
' > main.pony

Fetch dependencies.

stable fetch
# The dependencies listed in `bundle.json` will be fetched
# and/or updated into the local `.deps` directory.

Compile in a stable environment.

stable env ponyc --debug
# The local paths to the dependencies listed in `bundle.json`
# will be included in the `PONYPATH` environment variable,
# available to `use` in the `ponyc` invocation.
# You can run any custom command here - not just `ponyc`.
