- clone the forge-project
git clone https://github.com/fsharp-editing/Forge.git - change directory
cd Forge - run the build script
./build.sh
if all works out you should have a Forge.exe in ./temp/bin that you can call
with mono (assuming you use mono)
I use a simple script (just forge) like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
mono ~/coding/tools/Forge/temp/bin/Forge.exe "$@"Put this file into a directory in your path (in my case I have a ~/bin) and mark it
as executable with chmod +x forge
From then on you can just use forge to call the executable from anywhere.
To see if it works try
forge list templates
and you should get a list including
...
servicefabricsuavestateless
suave
suaveazurebootstrapper
temp
...
now you can create a new project.
Navigate to a target folder and initialize a new project with
forge new project --name SuaveTest --dir SuaveTest --template suave
(note this will start putting files right into the current folder so maybe
you'll want to mkdir and cd into some other place first)
you should now find a build.sh right where you started the command. chmod +x this
script too, so you can run it directly.
Next build the project with ./build.sh and you should end up with having a ./build/SuaveTest.exe
just run mono ./build/SuaveTest.exe which should start the server on localhost:8083
if you now navigate to this address using a browser you should see a
Hello World!
from suave

If during any step downloads fail it might be caused by missing root-certificates.
In this case just try this:
mozroots --import --sync
This command will downlad and install trusted root certificates from Mozillas LXR into Monos store (see the Linux man page on mozroots)
If this does not help you can try to install them on the machine-level:
sudo mozroots --import --machine --sync
