Dumb Downloader (dudo)

What's it about?

It's just a tool to make downloading binaries for different platforms easier.

For example

If you want to build a docker image, but you want to make it available on different platforms. But your tool needs other tools as dependencies, e.g. helm. To install helm on Alpine you need to use curl, wget, or something. You need to choose a version, an operating system, and an architecture. For me, it was obvious that you must be able to use uname -m...

uname -m 
aarch64

uname -m
x86_64

uname -m
arm64

While release naming is also not very consecutive

  • release_example.amd-macos.zip
  • another-release-for-amd64-macos.zip
  • linux-aarch64-release.zip

How to install?

Install

Download

Get executable from github releases

Prebuilt binaries exist for Linux x86_64 and MacOS arm64 and x86_64

Don't forget to add the binary to $PATH

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allanger/clever-install/main/scripts/download_dudo.sh | bash
$ dudo -h

You can use the latest or a tagged docker image

$ docker pull ghcr.io/allanger/clever-install:latest
$ docker run ghcr.io/allanger/clever-install:latest dudo -h
