Three tutorials provide accompanying code that can be run as discussed in their respective README files:
- 1-pkgs-make (a shell program)
- 2-haskell
- 2-python
These programs are simple and just output a message to the terminal.
There are four “run-” scripts in this directory that you can run if you have Nix installed. Each takes as a single argument either “shell”, “haskell”, or “python” to call the respective tutorial.
Here’s a description of the four scripts:
run-native- runs the program with Nix alone (no Docker involved)
run-docker-image- builds a Docker image with Nix and runs it with Docker
run-docker-tarball- builds tarball with Nix which is built into a Docker image and run with Docker
run-licences- prints a license report with Nix alone (no Docker involved)
If you don’t have Nix installed locally, we can do the Nix work within a
Nix-imaged Docker container. Just pass the command you want to run as arguments
to the provided docker-nix script. For instance:
./docker-nix run-docker-image haskellWe tried to keep the code clean, so you may find that you can pick up a lot from reading these scripts, the code in the tutorials, and the Pkgs-make code.
