The fd package provides a simple, fast, user-friendly alternative to find.
A network connection is needed for building this package. The system certificate store may need to be set up with make-ca before building this package.
jemalloc-5.3.1 (for improved performance)
First export some environment variables to enable linking against
the system libjemalloc:
export CARGO_FEATURE_UNPREFIXED_MALLOC_ON_SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS=1 && export JEMALLOC_OVERRIDE=/usr/lib/libjemalloc.so
Install fd by running the following commands:
cargo build --release
To run the test suite, issue: cargo test --release.
Now, as the root user:
install -vDm755 target/release/fd -t /usr/bin/
Install the man page as the root
user, if desired:
install -vDm644 doc/fd.1 -t /usr/share/man/man1/
If you wish to install shell completions, execute the relevant
commands for your shell(s) as the root user:
target/release/fd --gen-completions bash | install -vDm644 /dev/stdin /usr/share/bash-completions/completions/fd target/release/fd --gen-completions fish | install -vDm644 /dev/stdin /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/fd.fish target/release/fd --gen-completions zsh | install -vDm644 /dev/stdin /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_fd
Finally, unset the previously exported environment variables:
unset CARGO_FEATURE_UNPREFIXED_MALLOC_ON_SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS && unset JEMALLOC_OVERRIDE
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features=completions: This alternative command builds fd without jemalloc.
CARGO_FEATURE_UNPREFIXED_MALLOC_ON_SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS=1,
JEMALLOC_OVERRIDE=/usr/lib/libjemalloc.so: These
environment variables allow building against the system
libjemalloc. If unset, a vendored
static library is used.
