tea & Scripting

shebangs
You can use tea as the shebang for your scripts:
#!/usr/bin/env -S tea [email protected]
​
import sys
​
print(sys.version)
$ chmod +x ./my-script.py
$ ./my-script.py
3.9.17
Using env to invoke tea is typical for tools that have no POSIX location.
The -S parameter is required to pass multiple arguments.
Including Additional pkgs
Scripts are the glue that allows open source to be composed into powerful new tools. With our +pkg syntax you make anything in open source available to your your script.
#!/usr/bin/env -S tea +openssl deno run
​
Deno.dlopen("libssl.dylib")
Shell Scripting
#!/bin/sh
​
eval "$(tea --shellcode)"
# ^^ integrates `tea` during this script execution
​
tea +openai
# ^^ requires integration
​
openai --version
Robustness requires precisely specifying your environment:
#!/usr/bin/env -S tea bash>=4
​
source <(tea --shellcode)
# ^^ bash >=4 is required for this syntax, and eg macOS only comes with bash 3
Super Portable Scripts
If you like you can use our cURL-installer in your scripts. If tea is installed then the script just exits and uses that tea, if it’s not installed, it installs tea to a temporary directory first.
#!/bin/sh
​
eval "$(curl -Ssf https://tea.xyz)"
​
which tea   #=> /tmp/tea.xyz/tea
echo $PATH  #=> /tmp/tea.xyz:$PATH
​
tea +node@16 which node  #=> /tmp/tea.xyz/nodejs.org/v16/bin/node
