cargo install --locked --path .
  1. The ki binary should be installed.

Use nix flake 1​

  1. Install ki package
  • with nix profile:
nix profile install github:ki-editor/ki-editor
  • or as part of nix configuration, e.g.:
{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    ki-editor.url = "github:ki-editor/ki-editor";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, ki-editor, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations."«hostname»" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
         { environment.systemPackages = [ ki-editor.packages.x86_64-linux.default ] }
         ./configuration.nix
      ];
    };
  };
}
  1. Build tree-sitter grammars:
ki grammar fetch && ki grammar build
