runit by default installs into the /package hierarchy. To install as non-root user and without the /package directory, make the programs and documentation available manually.
Install into /package
Install programs and documentation manually
If you don't have a /package directory, create it
now:
mkdir -p /package
chmod 1755 /packageDownload runit-2.3.1.tar.gz into
/package (sha256sum) and unpack
the archive
cd /package
gunzip runit-2.3.1.tar
tar -xpf runit-2.3.1.tar
rm runit-2.3.1.tar
cd admin/runit-2.3.1On *BSD, if gcc is not available on the system, use
cc instead:
echo 'cc -O2 -Wall' >src/conf-cc
echo 'cc -s' >src/conf-ldOn MacOSX, do
echo 'cc -Xlinker -x' >src/conf-ld
cp src/Makefile src/Makefile.old
sed -e 's/ -static//' <src/Makefile.old >src/MakefileNow compile and install the runit programs

/usr/local/man/ hierarchy, do:

mail pape-runit-2.3.1@xxiv.smarden.org <compile/sysdepsIf you use runit regularly, please contribute to the project.
Refer to replacing init for replacing init with runit, or to use with traditional init for running runit's service supervision with your system's current init scheme.
Download runit-2.3.1.tar.gz into the current directory (sha256sum) and unpack the archive
gunzip runit-2.3.1.tar
tar -xpf runit-2.3.1.tar
cd admin/runit-2.3.1Run pwd and note the working directory. When following
the documentation onwards, you need to replace
/package/admin/runit accordingly.

cp src/Makefile src/Makefile.old
sed -e 's/ -static//' <src/Makefile.old >src/MakefileCompile and check the runit programs
package/compile
package/checkThe runit programs are available in the
command/ directory. You probably want to install the
command/runit* programs into /sbin, and the
other programs from command/ into /bin. As
non-root user you probably want to install them into
$HOME/bin.
The documentation is available in the doc/ directory,
and the man pages in the man/ directory.
