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 to the current working directory

Screencast

First, it checks if a PureScript binary has been already cached in a disk, 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 no prebuilt binary is provided for the current platform or the downloaded binary doesn't work correctly, it downloads the PureScript source code and compile it with Stack.

In most cases users don't need to install this CLI directly, but would rather use purescript npm package.

Installation

Use npm.

npm install install-purescript-cli
