ros-install - Install lisp implementations or quicklisp system
Synopsis
• ros install system [system ...]
• ros install impl[/version] [param ...]
Description
system a name specifying a system.
impl a name specifying a lisp implementation.
Installing a Lisp Implementation
When the impl or system matches to one of the supported implementa-
tions, it fetches, downloads and installs it to one of the internal di-
rectory managed by roswell (~/.roswell, or ROSWELL_INSTALL_DIR). In
order to use the installed implementation, you have to run ros-use(1).
For example, the following command downloads the latest sbcl binary
from sbcl.org. Note that this may be different from the default binary
installed by roswell, called sbcl-bin. sbcl-bin is a stable and
well-tested version of the sbcl binary which is supposed to be a little
older than the latest sbcl.
$ ros install sbcl
When invoked without a name, it prints the list of installable imple-
mentations. (Not to be confused with ros list installed, which shows
the implementations already installed.)
Usage: ros install impl [OPTIONS]
For more details on impl specific options, type:
ros help install impl
Candidates impls for installation are:
ecl
sbcl
clisp
ccl-bin
sbcl-bin
The name can be optionally followed by a slash / and a version of the
implementation.
$ ros install sbcl/1.2.14
There might be some hidden implementation that are not listed here --
they are in the alpha quality, but try the one you like or watch the
website (https://github.com/roswell/roswell).
$ ros install ccl
$ ros install abcl
$ ...
Installing a quicklisp system and the bundled roswell scripts
If the specified name does not match any of the implementations,
roswell tries to find a quicklisp system of the given name.
$ ros install alexandria
After compiling and loading the system, it funcalls ros:*build-hook*
special variable with no argument, if some function is set during the
compilation/load.
When the system comes with a roswell script created by ros-init(1) in
the subdirectory roswell, they are installed into ROSWELL_IN-
STALL_DIR/bin. Setting the path to this directory makes those scripts
available from the shell command line.
$ ros install qlot
System 'qlot' found. Loading the system..
Processing build-hook..
Found 1 scripts: qlot
Attempting to install the scripts in roswell/ subdirectory of the system...
/home/user/.roswell/bin/qlot
$ qlot
Usage: qlot [install | update | bundle | exec shell-args..]
