Using NiX to develop pandoc |
John MacFarlane |
The source directory contains shell.nix and flake.nix,
so if you have NiX installed, you can use either nix shell
or nix develop can be used to obtain a shell with pandoc
dependencies installed.
To set up direnv so that the NiX shell is automatically
activated whenever the directory is entered, add the following
.envrc in the pandoc source directory:
if ! has nix_direnv_version || ! nix_direnv_version 2.2.1; then
source_url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nix-community/nix-direnv/2.2.1/direnvrc" "sha256-zelF0vLbEl5uaqrfIzbgNzJWGmLzCmYAkInj/LNxvKs="
fi
use flake
This uses nix-direnv for caching. See its web page for further help.
