An unofficial Idris2 package repository for Nix.
Note: I try to be precise, but end up using Idris and Idris2 interchangeably. If I ever actually need to refer to the original, Haskell-based project, I will call it Idris1.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a precise list of installable packages in userspace yet. You can get an idea by scanning the inputs of flake.nix, or programmatically through nix by running:
nix eval --apply builtins.attrNames github:claymager/idris2-pkgs#packages.x86_64-linuxThis repository uses Cachix for caching, though that is still highly experimintal.
If you run cachix use cm-idris2-pkgs, it should configure your nix to use the cache. The cachix command is only needed for setup, so feel free to run that in a nix shell.

No matter what you want to do with this repository, to run the code, you’ll need nix. Most of the functionality requires the experimental feature flakes to be enabled, but idris2-pkgs does maintain a compatibility layer for “legacy mode,” documented here.
The CI builds with both Linux and MacOS. Unfortunately, there is no native Windows support, but nix can be installed on Windows with WSL 2.
To run idris2 with some of these libraries, try the following command:
nix shell github:claymager/idris2-pkgs#idris2.withLibs.comonad.idrallThat drops you into a shell with idris2 and the packages comonad and idrall installed. You can now run idris2 -p comonad -p idrall to enter a REPL, and import whatever you need.
Other executables that need runtime access to libraries, such as the LSP, also have access to that withPkgs attribute.
For other uses, check the documentation.
