DEPRECATED

idris2 has been included in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/idris2/default.nix

Do not install from this repository and use the official nix-channel instead.

Just do nix-env -i idris2

If that doesn't work, you might need to install it from nixpkgs-unstable / nixos-unstable.

Idris2 nix derivation

This is a very scrappy nix derivation for Idris2, the successor to Idris.

What?

Nix is a Purely Functional Package Manager. A nix derivation is a recipe about building a certain package - similar to a Makefile but it defines all its dependencies. So with this nix derivation, you don't need to worry about which Idris version you need. The nix derivation here does that for you.

Ok how?

• Install nix
• Clone this repository
• cd into the folder containing default.nix
• nix-env -f . -iA idris2

$ idris2

Welcome to Idris 2.  Enjoy yourself!

What else?

Remember that Idris2 is still under heavy development. DO NOT expect any of this to work at any time.

The present nix derivation uses the make bootstrap SCHEME=chez style to compile idris2 from the included bootstrap scheme.
