Installing Lyra

On Linux and MacOS you can download Lyra and build it with Go. Lyra is also available as a Homebrew package, or as a Docker container.

Run Lyra in a Docker container

To run Lyra in a Docker container, make sure you’ve installed the latest stable version of Docker.

To set up the Lyra Docker container:

1. Create a lyra-local directory to save your work locally:

   cd
   mkdir lyra-local
   

2. Pull the latest Lyra container:

   docker pull lyraproj/lyra:latest
   

3. Run the container in interactive mode and mount the directory at /src/lyra/local to your local-lyra directory:

   docker run -it \
   --mount type=bind,src=$HOME/lyra-local,dst=/src/lyra/local \
   lyraproj/lyra:latest /bin/ash
   

Install Lyra with Homebrew

Use the following command to install Lyra with Homebrew:

brew install lyraproj/lyra/lyra

Build Lyra with Go

Lyra requires Go 1.11 or higher, and go modules enabled.

To install and Build Lyra, follow these instructions:

1. Clone the Lyra repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lyraproj/lyra
   

2. Build Lyra:

   cd lyra; make
   

3. (Optional) If you intend to work with typescript, run make smoke-test-ts. This checks for an appropriate version of Node.js

Note: You must run the make command each time you merge changes from the upstream Lyra repository.
