Installation

Installing Packer.nu

OS compatibility

Packer.nu has been written on Linux (mostly debian and nixos based) devices. Standard GNU/Linux setups should therefore work best.

I currently am not able to test it on Windows or Darvin.

Dependencies

Required executables in the path:

• git
• NuShell (install guide)

Recommended executables:

• RipGrep (rg)
• GNU-coreutils: ln (ln) (currently required for local package sources)
• Fd-find (fd)

Note: The packages have their own Dependencies and might need additional things.

Package names

program	apt	nixpkgs	pacman
nushell	(not packaged)	nushell	nushell
git	git	git	git
ripgrep	ripgrep	ripgrep	ripgrep
fd	fd-find	fd	fd

Installig Packer.nu itself

1. Open a NuShell instance
2. nu -c (http get https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jan9103/packer.nu/master/install.nu)
   • prior to nu0.75: nu -c (fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jan9103/packer.nu/master/install.nu)
3. Reopen nu

Now you can install packages
