I think the best part about Nix is that it makes it super easy to get software into your development environment. This layered store is a pretty cool setup to make that efficient for Replit.
Not sure how if Nix/Replit has the program you’re looking for? Or what package name to use to actually get the program you want? Check out my cli search tool:
Edit: I can’t help myself from ranting, it’s insane that I had to write this tool. Speaks to the lack of user focus in the Nix community. Even the blog post here doesn’t mention how to actually find packages to install!
What good is a package manager that makes finding packages difficult? Who should be expected to tolerate such a thing?
