- Put this into your .bashrc
+ put this into your .bashrc
loadEnv(){ . "${HOME}/.nix-profile/dev-envs/${1}"; }
- then nix-env -iA env-nix
- and
- $ loadEnv postgresql
+ afterwards execute the new bash shell:
+ $ bash
+
+ the nix expression created is called: env-mytestenv and must appear when
searching for it using:
+ $ nix-env -qa '*' | grep nix
+ env-mytestenv
+
+ now we should build our newly defined custom environment using this command
on a shell, so type:
+ $ nix-env -iA env-mytestenv
+
+ afterwards load the new environment using:
+ $ loadEnv mytestenv
+ one could also use this function instead:
+ $ load-mytestenv-env
+ the result using either command should be:
+ env-mytestenv loaded
+ note: after you typed the above command you will lose all the other tools
usually found in a shell you are used to. in this
+ example you will not be able to type 'vi' to edit a file as vi is not
included in the dependencies
