Or use a sandboxed install:

$ cd /tmp/; wget https://raw.github.com/toumorokoshi/sprinter/master/examples/sprinter_sandbox.sh; bash sprinter_sandbox.sh

A cross-platform environment bootstrapping framework!

Sprinter is a framework designed to making bootstrapping development environments easier. There are three main components to a usable sprinter script:

• This python egg, to fully utilize the framework

• a sprinter.cfg file, which contains the configuration necessary to install features

• sprinter recipes, which each feature uses as it’s instruction manual on how to setup, update, and remove itself

This will install the sprinter command line to your machine. Easy install needs to be installed for now. Conversely, you can use the sandboxer to use sprinter once. (look under examples)

Command list

Install an environment:

$ sprinter install ENVIRONMENT.cfg
$ sprinter install http://myenvironment.cfg
