Installation

Ubuntu

Download an archive or clone the repository. And place the file jq-front, lib, and schema in a directory which is on your PATH. Following dependencies will be required by jq-front

bash
jq
ajv-cli
- npm
yq
- python-pip
- python

Warning

The version of yq installed through, snap install yq doesn’t work for jq-front. Visit yq site to know it more.

Note	All the direct and indirect dependencies are found in the `Dockerfile`.

With Docker (recommended)

If you are already using docker and bash, this is the easiest way to use jq-front. To install docker, visit

Add a following entry to your .bashrc or a file sourced through it (such as .profile on Mac OSX).

function jq-front() {
  docker run --rm -i \
    -v "${HOME}:/var/lib/jf/${HOME}" \
    -v "${HOME}/.jq-front.rc:/root/.jq-front.rc" \
    -e JF_PATH_BASE="/var/lib/jf" \
    -e JF_PATH="${JF_PATH}" \
    -e JF_DEBUG=${JF_DEBUG:-disabled} \
    -e JF_CWD="$(pwd)" \
    dakusui/jq-front:"${JF_DOCKER_TAG:-v0.57}" "${@}"
}

NOTE: This approach only allows you to process files under $HOME directory.

To install bash on windows, install-bash-on-windows will be helpful.
