ebuild: Install the package to a temporary install directory.
$ ebuild ${filename-ebuild} install
try on your machine
The command "ebuild ${filename-ebuild} install" is used in Gentoo Linux to manually install a software package from its ebuild file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "ebuild" is the command-line tool in Gentoo Linux used to work with ebuild files.
- "${filename-ebuild}" is a variable placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the ebuild file you want to install. Ebuild files are scripts used by Gentoo's package management system to describe how a software package should be built, configured, and installed.
- "install" is a command that tells the ebuild tool to build and install the software package specified in the ebuild file.
So, the overall command is essentially telling the ebuild tool to take the specified ebuild file, build the software package described in it, and then install it on the system.
