First, it checks if a PureScript binary has been already cached in a disk, and restores that if available 2. The second plan: if no cache is available, it downloads a prebuilt binary from [the PureScript release page](https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases). 3. The last resort: if no prebuilt binary is provided for the current platform or the downloaded binary doesn't work correctly, it downloads [the PureScript source code](https://github.com/purescript/purescript/tree/master) and compile it with [Stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/). *In most cases users don't need to install this CLI directly, but would rather use the [`purescript` npm package](https://npmjs.com/package/purescript).* ## Installation [Use](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install) [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-npm/). ``` npm install purescript-installer ``` ## CLI Once this package is installed to the project directory, users can execute `install-purescript` command inside [npm scripts](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#description). ``` Usage: install-purescript [options] Options: --purs-ver Specify PureScript version --name Change a binary name Default: 'purs.exe' on Windows, 'purs' on others Or, if the current working directory contains package.json with `bin` field specifying a path of `purs` command, this option defaults to its value --help, Print usage information --version Print version Also, these flags are passed to `stack install` command if provided: --dry-run --pedantic --fast --only-snapshot --only-dependencies --only-configure --trace --profile --no-strip --coverage --no-run-tests --no-run-benchmarks ``` ## Developer Guide If you'd like to contribute to this project, here are instructions for testing your changes locally: Checkout code and create global link to PS installer package: ``` git clone https://github.com/purescript/npm-installer.git cd npm-installer npm link ``` Create another project for testing, and add linked PS installer: ``` cd .. mkdir test-installer cd test-installer npm init -y npm link purescript-installer ``` Test PS installer. You may re-run this command without repeating any of the above steps to pick-up new PS installer changes. ``` npx install-purescript ``` ## License [ISC License](./LICENSE) © 2017 - 2019 Watanabe Shinnosuke --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/purescript-installer · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
