runit - installation

runit installs into /package. If you don't have a /package directory, create it now:

  # mkdir -p /package
  # chmod 1755 /package

Download runit-0.9.3.tar.gz into /package and unpack the archive

  # cd /package
  # gunzip runit-0.9.3.tar
  # tar -xpf runit-0.9.3.tar
  # rm runit-0.9.3.tar
  # cd admin/runit-0.9.3

Compile and install the runit programs

  # package/install

If you want to make the man pages available in the /usr/local/man/ hierarchy, do:

  # package/install-man

Refer to replacing init for replacing init with runit, or to use with traditional init for running runit's service supervision with your system's current init scheme.
