Go to Beyond Grep and look at the section titled
Install The ack executeable
curl http://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.14-single-file > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3
And replace ack.2.14
with the current version of ack.
You may need to create the directory mkdir ~/bin/
first. You may
also need to modify ~/.bashrc to include this new path E.G.:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
Then reload ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Test the installation by running ack:
rpm -qa | ack s
This should display any installed packages containing the letter s
. (some linux distributions may use ack-grep
as the command.
