Project installation/setup overview #39

Closed InLaw closed 4 years ago

InLaw commented 4 years ago

is there a way to show/ inspect the whole installed setup/packages with versions (and hashes) regrading

linux/OS packages
language packages for python c++ js java (which could be related to a package as dependency)

cript0nauta commented 4 years ago

Yes there is a way, this feature is provided by Nix itself. You can query the closure of an output, i.e. the list of all transitive dependencies. If you're using the pynixify/shell.nix file, you can do something like this:

$ nix-store -qR $(nix-build pynixify/shell.nix -A buildInputs)

This will first build the python environment with all the specified dependencies, and then it wil print the contents of the whole closure. Does this answer your question?

nix-tree

shows the dependencies as well and (reverse [for a specific pkg])

(ok for now)

I didn't know about nix-tree, it looks great! :smile:
