Iocage: How to install from source?

[oliverangelil]

Apologies for the noob question. As a noob, I usually install packages with "pkg install ". It was easy to install it with pkg install py27-iocage-0.9.4 on Freebsd V12. But for some reason there are no python iocages in pkg on FreeBSD V11 (also after updating pkg with pkg update)

To try to install 0.9.6 from source I first got the stuff from githup:
git clone https://github.com/iocage/iocage

Then I thought I would go into iocage/doc and run:
make install clean because there is a "Makefile" in there. But this didn't work, with the error:

make: don't know how to make install. Stop

Maybe you could add a line to the README.md on how to install it from source; or just let me know here ;)

Thanks.

just install the port: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html
basically run portsnap fetch extract, go into /usr/ports/sysutils/py-iocage and run "make install clean"

If cloning the repo directly:

cd into the cloned directory and run pip3 install . as root.
To install subsequent updates: git pull and pip3 install -U .

It's on the README ;)

But you will need to install python36 with pkg and then run python-3.6 -m ensurepip to get pip3.

I manually symlink 3.6 to python3 so I don't have to type that each time.

Hope that helps, I'll close this but feel free to continue asking.
