Taqueria Installation Basics

Installing Taqueria is a quick and easy process if you understand a few basic concepts and follow the steps outlined in this guide

There are two main components to install:

  • The Taqueria CLI, an executable binary named taq installed globally in your shell's $PATH
  • A VS Code plugin installed directly through the VS Code Extension Marketplace

Requirements

Taqueria CLI

  • A compatable operating system:
    • MacOS
    • Linux
    • Windows (via WSL)
  • Docker

VS Code Extension

The VS Code Extension requires a recent version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code which can be installed here

Installing the Taqueria CLI

Overview

Installing the Taqueria CLI involves the following steps:

  1. Download the correct build of Taqueria for your operating system
  2. Make the Taqueria binary taq executable
  3. Add taq to your shell's $PATH

Once these steps are complete, you will be able to run Taqueria from your terminal using the taq command

OS Specific Instructions

  1. Download the latest MacOS build of Taqueria
curl -LO https://taqueria.io/get/macos/taq
  1. Make the binary file executable
chmod +x taq
  1. Move the binary to a directory in your shell's $PATH
sudo mv taq /usr/local/bin
  1. Disable MacOS Gatekeeper to allow Taqueria to run
sudo spctl --master-disable
caution

Currently the taq binary is not signed for Mac OS. In order to run Taqueria, users must disable MacOS Gatekeeper (This is not ideal)
This is a temporary workaround until we can sign the binaries (see #129)

If you want to re-enable the MacOS Gatekeeper later on, run the command
sudo spctl --master-enable

Installing the VS Code Extension

The Taqueria VS Code Extension is installed from the Extensions pane within VS Code. The steps to install are:

  1. Open the Extensions pane
  2. Type Taqueria in the search bar
  3. Click install
