Request: NixOS package for integrate with Repl.it
lajbel opened this issue · 8 comments
It would be great to be able to use luvit on Replit.com, you could if they had a nixOS package!
Luvit can already work on replit.com. Nothing special needed here to make it work, although indeed a nix package could make it easier but if we were to port Luvit to any package manager we would do this for the more-used package managers first. So as of now, I don't think that is a good idea (and it is not like installing it manually on replit is hard).
Good luck.
How would it be installed manually in replit? using shell unix terminal?
On the main website of Luvit, there is an install script for Unix-systems, use it. https://luvit.io/install.html
Yeah i install but
In any shell -as long as it is not Windows command line- you are suppose to prefix the binary path. As in ./luvit.
sorry, i don't know much about unix, do i have to use a special command?
In Unix environments, typing luvit will not run the executable from your current working directory automatically (for security reasons). That's why you have to prepend it with a dot (., for "current working directory"): ./luvit should run it if you're in the folder where it's located.
Or you could simply type bin/luvit instead of luvit if the folder layout is as pictured above.
yeah, thanks!
