Package Exports

install-purescript-cli

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (install-purescript-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

install-purescript-cli

A command-line tool to install PureScript

Screencast

First, it checks if a PureScript binary has been already cached in your machine, and restores that if available
The second plan: if no cache is available, it downloads a prebuilt binary from the PureScript release page.
The last resort: if a prebuilt binary is not provided for your platform or the downloaded binary doesn't work correctly, it downloads the PureScript source code and compile it with Stack.

In most cases you don't need to use this CLI directly. You would rather use purescript npm package.

npm install install-purescript-cli
