Is it possible to install Ack on windows without network?


I use two PC for work, one can access internet, the other one can not, it's for development.

I want to install Ack for better use VIM on the development PC.

Is there a Installer for Ack or other ways can install it without network?

PC are both Windows. Thanks.


Solution

  • The single-file version of ack is available at http://beyondgrep.com/install/. You can download that one file on an Internet-connected computer, transfer it over to your non-Internet computer, and put it somewhere in your Windows path. I wish I could be more specific on what to do.

    You will have to have Perl installed on the machine, however, since ack requires Perl.
