Lazyrun is a utility to run various useful tools in containers as if they were installed natively.

To get lazyrun, for now just clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/antmicro/lazyrun

Lazyrun uses Podman under the hood for rootless, deamonless containers. Docker can also be used as a replacement. See the official Podman docs for installation instructions.

Basically, lazyrun itself will tell you if you don't have Podman and how to get it in that case.

TODO: our own fully static container tech.

Run:

pip install pyinstaller staticx

Then execute:

./build.sh

And you should see a lazyrun binary in your current folder. Put it somewhere in your PATH. Static binaries are also built on every commit GitHub Actions.

Just do:

lazyrun

And follow the guidelines - you will need to:

source ./lazyrun/init

And you should now see the relevant containerized binaries on your PATH.
