OSX

yadm can be installed using Homebrew.

brew install yadm

Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS (YUM/RPM)

Several yum repositories are on Copr. Follow this link for repositories and installation instructions.

Ubuntu

Beginning with Ubuntu 16.10 (yakkety), a version of yadm is available via standard package repositories.

If using an older Ubuntu release, or to get a more up-to-date version of yadm, a PPA containing yadm exists here. These commands should be sufficient to install:

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:flexiondotorg/yadm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install yadm

Otherwise, the instructions for Debian below should also work for Ubuntu.

Debian

yadm is currently in the "testing" release of Debian. If you are using the "stable" release, you can still install yadm using the following process.

First, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

Next, run apt-get update -y
Last, run apt-get -t testing install yadm

If you are using the "unstable" or "testing" release of Debian, you should be able to install yadm as you normally install software with apt-get.

Arch Linux

yadm is available in the Arch User Repos and can be installed with AUR helper or Makepkg

yaourt -S yadm

Gentoo Linux

yadm is available in the main gentoo portage tree, simply use emerge to install it

emerge -atv app-admin/yadm

Download

You can simply download the yadm script and put it into your $PATH. Something like this:

curl -fLo /usr/local/bin/yadm https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/raw/master/yadm && chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/yadm

Of course, you can change the file paths above to be appropriate for your $PATH and situation.

Clone

You might wish to clone the yadm project and symlink yadm into your $PATH.

git clone https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm.git ~/.yadm-project
ln -s ~/.yadm-project/yadm ~/bin/yadm

Now you can pull the latest updates to yadm using Git. Again, adjust the file paths above to be appropriate for your $PATH and situation.

Submodule

If you are comfortable with how Git submodules work, another option is to add the yadm project as a submodule and symlink yadm into your $PATH.

cd ~
yadm submodule add https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm.git .yadm-project
yadm submodule update --init --recursive
ln -s ~/.yadm-project/yadm ~/bin/yadm
yadm add .yadm-project .gitmodules bin/yadm
yadm commit

When using submodules, you need to initialize them each time you do a fresh clone of your dotfiles.

yadm submodule update --init --recursive

Updating to a newer version of yadm would use commands similar to this.

cd ~/.yadm-project
git pull
yadm add ~/.yadm-project
yadm commit

Again, adjust the file paths above to be appropriate for your $PATH and situation.

You can find more information about Git submodules by reading the git-submodule man page.
