bin/configure assumes Debian based system

[coder2000]

I use Arch Linux so my package manager is pacman or yay if I need to use something from AUR. The configure script as provided by the repo assumes that dpkg is available wants to install postgresql and redis system wide. While that isn't an issue in and of itself I prefer to use docker to run them on a per project basis if needed.

[coder2000]

Splitting it up didn't resolve the issue. The issue is that the scripts rely primarily on dpkg and apt-get which are only available on Debian and derivatives.

@coder2000 Can you please post a stack trace or some details about whatever problem you ran into? The new scripts no longer rely on dpkg or apt-get for detecting postgres or redis. It should attempt to use dpkg for detecting icu4c but if your system doesn't have dpkg it should just tell you that it knows you don't have dpkg and then it should suggest that you ensure that icu4c is installed.

	else
	puts "You don't have dpkg, so we can't tell if `icu4c` is installed.".red
	puts "Please make sure that `icu4c` is installed.".yellow
	end

What exactly are you seeing?

[coder2000]

Ok. Sorry, I missed that part of the script.

@coder2000 if it gives you any problems please report back with some details. We definitely want to make this as smooth as possible.

Hi! Same problem here on Fedora 40 Sway.

• dpkg is installed through brew.
• libicu installed on system.
• icu4c installed through brew.

I honestly have no idea how to fix this.

You don't have dpkg, so we can't tell if icu4c is installed.

Here’s the last couple dozen lines of bin/setup crashing on Arch:

You have PostgreSQL installed, but you're using v16.3 and not v14.
Try proceeding without PostgreSQL 14? [Y/n]

Continuing with PostgreSQL v16.3. This might cause problems in the next steps.

You have redis 7.2.5 installed.
