Using grun in the apt-get package for ANTLR












0















I have installed a couple of apt-get packages for ANTLR instead of following the instructions on the homepage as I prefer to use a package manager of some kind whenever possible. In particular I have ran:



sudo apt-get install antlr
sudo apt-get install antlr4


The tool antlr4 runs fine and gives the expected output. The antlr grammar testing tool grun, however, does not. Running grun gives:



➜  ~ grun
zsh: command not found: grun


I originally thought there might be another package that needs installation, erroneously tried sudo apt-get install grun which gives an unrelated tool. I also searched using apt search grun and apt search antlr to see if there was any possible grun-esque package that I was missing. Nothing showed up.



However, after looking at the file directories of the antlr4 package there is a /usr/share/antlr4/grun. Sure enough, changing directories I found there was a binary grun and running ./grun gives the expected output.




  1. It seems odd to me why this isn't installed in /usr/bin/. I can't run it as is. Is it expected that /usr/share/ is in my path? Is this a "mistake" in the package?

  2. Or is there some alternative alias that the package provides for grun that I should be calling instead?
