installer fails on nixos

[mbledkowski]

Hi,
How can I install tea cli on NixOS?
Best regards,
Maciej Błędkowski

[mxcl]

sh <(curl tea.xyz) is the general installer. However I believe we don’t yet work on Nix. Probably due to a pre-requisite package or too. We'll use this ticket to track the error messages.

k so the installer fails.

[mxcl]

# sh <(curl tea.xyz)
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 13952  100 13952    0     0  20221      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 20220
                                      /dev/fd/63: line 231: /root/.tea/charm.sh/gum/v0.9.0/bin/gum: No such file or directory

I checked and this file exists. Does nixos do things differently at a filesystem level even?

[mxcl]

I don’t understand nixos, and looking into it is clear that if you choose nix you must want to help people who don't to fix things with it. So—over to you.

sh <(curl tea.xyz)

Yep, they do a lot of things differently. Basically NixOS is configured through nix config files, and from what I know, you cannot just install a package like that, you have to make nix file for that package.

If we pkg’d pkgx for nixos would any of our packages work though?
