# Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Start a shell with the build environment of the default package of
|
||
|
|
the flake in the current directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# nix develop
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Typical commands to run inside this shell are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# configurePhase
|
||
|
|
# buildPhase
|
||
|
|
# installPhase
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can run whatever build tools your project uses
|
||
|
|
directly, e.g. for a typical Unix project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# ./configure --prefix=$out
|
||
|
|
# make
|
||
|
|
# make install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run a particular build phase directly:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --configure
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --build
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --check
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --install
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --installcheck
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Start a shell with the build environment of GNU Hello:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# nix develop nixpkgs#hello
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Record a build environment in a profile:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --profile /tmp/my-build-env nixpkgs#hello
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use a build environment previously recorded in a profile:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cosnole
|
||
|
|
# nix develop /tmp/my-build-env
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Replace all occurences of the store path corresponding to
|
||
|
|
`glibc.dev` with a writable directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
# nix develop --redirect nixpkgs#glibc.dev ~/my-glibc/outputs/dev
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this is useful if you're running a `nix develop` shell for
|
||
|
|
`nixpkgs#glibc` in `~/my-glibc` and want to compile another package
|
||
|
|
against it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`nix develop` starts a `bash` shell that provides an interactive build
|
||
|
|
environment nearly identical to what Nix would use to build
|
||
|
|
*installable*. Inside this shell, environment variables and shell
|
||
|
|
functions are set up so that you can interactively and incrementally
|
||
|
|
build your package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nix determines the build environment by building a modified version of
|
||
|
|
the derivation *installable* that just records the environment
|
||
|
|
initialised by `stdenv` and exits. This build environment can be
|
||
|
|
recorded into a profile using `--profile`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The prompt used by the `bash` shell can be customised by setting the
|
||
|
|
`bash-prompt` and `bash-prompt-suffix` settings in `nix.conf` or in
|
||
|
|
the flake's `nixConfig` attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Flake output attributes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no flake output attribute is given, `nix run` tries the following
|
||
|
|
flake output attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `devShell.<system>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `defaultPackage.<system>`
