Installation
Riot requires a newer electron than is available in the nixos-18.09 channel. As of this writing, electron 4.0 from nixpkgs master works.
This is a standard Nix package, which can be included in any
expression by using callPackage
. For example, you can add riot = pkgs.callPackage /path/to/riot-electron-nix {};
to packageOverrides
in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix
to enable installing with nix-env -i
.
Updating
To generate a new version of this package, update the riot-web submodule to the appropriate revision.
Troubleshooting
Ensure that the riot-web submodule is checked out and up to date.
