Elm 0.19.1 Linux 32bit unofficial binaries (Debian 10 Buster i386)

elm-0.19.1-i386.md

Unofficial Elm for Debian 10 Buster i386

Built with 32bit patches from https://github.com/dmy/elm-raspberry-pi.

Please do not report issues at the official Elm projects. You can comment here in the gist, note however that this is not a project that I intend to support in the future.

Install

curl -L https://gist.github.com/rlefevre/8fcf368d9951137e9e810c06c111bba1/raw/52c66eb0e01737e28f1f67f20790212b8ca6fd88/elm-i386-20200424.tar.gz | sudo tar zxC /usr/local/bin

The tarball includes the following binaries:

• elm 0.19.1
• elm-format 0.8.3
• elmi-to-json 1.3.0 (needed by elm-test)

Compatibility

• Built and tested on Docker x64 with Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster i386 (32 bits).

Uninstall

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/elm{,-format,i-to-json}

Node.js

To use Elm tools like elm-test or elm-doc-preview, you will need Node.js.
The following command will install Node.js v10 and npm:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
npm install -g npm@latest

Then logout/login.

It is advised to configure npm to store packages in a user directory.
Add to ~/.bashrc:

NPM_PACKAGES="$HOME/.npm-packages"
export PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
# Unset manpath so we can inherit from /etc/manpath via the `manpath` command
unset MANPATH  # delete if you already modified MANPATH elsewhere in your configuration
export MANPATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/share/man:$(manpath)"
unset NPM_PACKAGES

and run

npm config set prefix ~/.npm-packages

Then logout/login.

elm-test

You can install elm-test globally:

npm install -g elm-test --ignore-scripts

But it won't run without an elmi-to-json binary suitable for the platform, which is not available upstream. So we will make a link, in the expected location, to the one provided by this release:

$ (cd $(npm config get prefix)/lib/node_modules/elm-test/node_modules/elmi-to-json/bin; ln -fs /usr/local/bin/elmi-to-json)

elm-i386-20200424.tar.gz

@MarkDBlackwell I merged it, but PATH and MANPATH should most likely be already exported in most systems. Did you try and had issues without the export?

Also I changed the ln command by the following one that seems slightly cleaner to me:

ln -sft $(npm config get prefix)/lib/node_modules/elm-test/node_modules/elmi-to-json/bin /usr/local/bin/elmi-to-json

But first things first, do the binaries work fine on your system? You are most likely the first one to test them.

All three binaries work fine on my system. Yesterday, I used them successfully by running elm, elm-format and elm-test with Buster's nodejs and npm.

BTW, at the time, I hadn't even updated npm with npm install -g npm@latest.

The latest elm-upgrade, uglify-js, html-minifier and cssnano-cli ran successfully as well.

I agree that your newly suggested ln command is nicer; and it worked for me. Possibly, a further improvement is to select npm's silent logging level:

ln -sft $(npm config -s get prefix)/lib/node_modules/elm-test/node_modules/elmi-to-json/bin /usr/local/bin/elmi-to-json

You're right about PATH being exported automatically from ~/.bashrc (to /bin/sh scripts, for instance). However, MANPATH isn't, I see.

Thank you for the report and feedback.
The export commands don't hurt anyway, so I will let them.

elm-doc-preview, which you mention tangentially, threw for me Error: Cannot find module './lib/elm-doc-server' until downgraded from 5.0.2 to npm install -g elm-doc-preview@5.0.1.

Oh thank you! I made a mistake when publishing the 5.0.2 version a few days ago.
5.0.3 should be good.

5.0.3 worked fine.

@rlefevre BTW, the slew of warnings I got from $(npm config get prefix) before upgrading npm is why I recommended silent logging. So now it's unnecessary.

@MarkDBlackwell yeah I know, that's why I have placed the upgrade before the npm install 😉
