I've followed the instructions here (under the Linux tab) on installing Dart onto a Ubuntu web-server.
Dart itself works fine, but I can't use Pub commands (only Dart commands). How can I install Pub for the server?

I guess you just need to add the dart-sdk/bin
directory to the path or alternatively create symlinks in /usr/bin
for the Dart tools you want to have easily available.
Here are Dart’s installation instructions for 64bit version of Ubuntu using the Aptitude (apt) package manager (as found on the website):
# Enable HTTPS for apt. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https # Get the Google Linux package signing key. $ sudo sh -c 'curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -' # Set up the location of the stable repository. $ sudo sh -c 'curl https://storage.googleapis.com/download.dartlang.org/linux/debian/dart_stable.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dart_stable.list' $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install dart
It’s likely that the newly installed Dart files will be located in the ‘/usr/lib/dart’ directory (do check this if unsure). Once known, edit the ‘.profile’ file by entering:
nano ~/.profile
This will edit the bash profile using nano (if installed, else use another command line file editor). Now at the bottom of the file, add:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/dart/bin"
When finished, you can check it has saved afterwards by entering ‘cat ~/.profile’. Now force the bash profile to reload by entering:
. ~/.profile
dart
, but just isn't in the path for some reason). To find the path to pub
, you can install dart
with your .deb
installation file, and open the synaptic package manager
sudo apt-get install synaptic
), find dart in the Synaptic Package Manager. Right click on dart
. Click on properties
. Go to the installed files
tab. Look for pub
to see where it's installed. Here's where mine is: /usr/lib/dart/bin/pub
. The 'included files' tab while using gdebi
to open the .deb
file may be insightful as to where it will put it, too.
Then type this from the command-line (substituting your path to pub
if it's not like mine); this will add pub
to your path:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pub pub /usr/lib/dart/bin/pub 0
You may need to check first to see if pub
is assigned to something else already (it sounds like you already know that it's not, but it's good to know how to do this for the future, including if you want to change which one is assigned at a particular time):
update-alternatives --config pub
That will let you see what typing pub
will run, what alternatives are currently configured for that, and allow you to change which program (of the alternatives) will run when you type pub
. If it is assigned to something else, the 0
at the end of the first command I mentioned might need to be changed to a different number.
Note: There are other programs besides pub in the same directory that you might want to add to your path.
