You can use the `shell.nix` from this directory
to build the servant packages or even the tutorial
or cookbook if you want to, optionally.
Just the servant packages:
``` sh
$ nix-shell nix/shell.nix
```
Everything needed for the tutorial and the
cookbook too:
``` sh
$ nix-shell nix/shell.nix --arg tutorial true
```
The `shell.nix` file also supports specifying
a particular ghc version, e.g:
``` sh
$ nix-shell nix/shell.nix --argstr compiler ghcHEAD
```
**Possible GHC versions**
- `ghc865Binary`
- `ghc884`
- `ghc8104` - default
- `ghc901`
### Cabal users
GHC version can be chosen via the nix-shell parameter
`cabal build all`
### Stack version
Since the ghc version is set by the LTS version, it is preferable to use the `ghc8104` version parameter for the nix-shell.
`stack --no-nix --system-ghc <command>`
