Install Fossil

I rarely update the fossil binary I use, but when I do this is how:

First. go to https://fossil-scm.org/home/uv/download.html and find the latest version number. It’s important to copy it correctly, as the URLs are constructed from it. :mag:

pushd /tmp/ > /dev/null && \
curl -LO https://fossil-scm.org/home/uv/fossil-linux-x64-=fossil_version=.tar.gz && \
tar -xzf fossil-linux-x64-=fossil_version=.tar.gz && \
chmod +x fossil && \
mv fossil -f =install_path= && \
popd > /dev/null && \
which fossil && \
fossil version

:warning: There may be other things to run, for updating existing fossil repos.

Nice, it works! :slight_smile:
