Getting started

[Victor Miller]

I looked in the SCALE-MAMBA pdf.  It says to install the nix-shell with

curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/nstall | sh

which I did.  But after starting a new login shell and typing

nix-shell

I get

error: getting status of '/Users/victorsmiller/default.nix': No such file or directory

I can run

nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"

which downloads a bunch of things.  There seems to be something missing in the documentation.  Can anybody elucidate?  I'm running on a mac running OSX 12.3.1.  The same thing happens on an intel mac and an M1 mac.

Here's more information:

ls -la .nix-profile
lrwxr-xr-x  1 victorsmiller  staff  52 May  9 18:12 .nix-profile -> /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/victorsmiller/profile

Hi Victor,

The nix-shell command should be executed in the SCALE-MAMBA directory,
could you try that?

Thanks,
Kelong

Thanks.  The docs should have said that.  I got a little further.  But things stop with the error below.  This is on an M1 mac.

nix-shell
error: cannot coerce null to a string

On an intel mac, I got a little further.  Everything seemed to compile, but linking failed:

Is there a Linux machine that you can try? As far as I know, SCALE-MAMBA
is primarily developed and tested on Linux machines, I'm not sure if
anyone has tried it on macOS.
