Hi,
I’m running Rocky Linux 8 and I’d like to install the following piece of software:
Githug is an interactive command-line game to learn Git. I’ve already tested it in a VM, and it’s nice.
According to the documentation, Githug is supposed to be installed like this:
# gem install githug
It depends on the rubygems
package.
Now my question. I usually refrain from installing stuff without using DNF and properly built packages. Only it looks like this time there’s no package to be found for githug
, not even in Fedora.
When I perform the install as root
, I end up with a /usr/local/bin/githug
binary, though I don’t know what other stuff gets install where when running gem install
.
What’s your take on this ? Can I use gem install
as root
without having to fear breakage ?
