slapt-src: Fetch, build and install the specified slackbuild(s).
$ slapt-src --install ${slackbuild_name}
try on your machine
The command "slapt-src --install ${slackbuild_name}" is used to install a Slackware package from source using the slapt-src tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "slapt-src" is the name of the tool used to handle source-based package management in Slackware. It allows you to build and install Slackware packages from source code.
- "--install" is an option or argument passed to the slapt-src tool, indicating that you want to install a package.
- "${slackbuild_name}" is a placeholder for the specific name of the SlackBuild script or directory associated with the package you want to install. In Slackware, SlackBuild scripts are used to compile the source code into a package that can be installed on the system. You need to replace "${slackbuild_name}" with the actual SlackBuild script or directory name.
In summary, this command instructs the slapt-src tool to use the provided SlackBuild script or directory to build a package from source and then install it on the system.
