WebDSL on Linux

New users should get the Eclipse plugin here.

This page explains how to get a C-based WebDSL for running in the terminal.

First the nix package manager needs to be installed from nixos.org, which includes standard nix installation packages including Ubuntu/Debian and RPM packages and RPM. You need at least version 0.13.

To start using nix using your regular (non-root) account, do the following:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /nix/store /nix/var

Next, run the shell script to configure the correct paths (and add this line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file):

/etc/profile.d/nix.sh

Finally, install WebDSL using Nix:

nix-channel --add http://hydra.nixos.org/project/webdsl/channel/latest
nix-channel --update
nix-env -i webdsl
