== Installing Extensions ==
 
Gram, unlike Zed, builds extensions locally. This makes installing extensions on NixOS require some setup. There are multiple ways to handle extensions, in no particular order:
 
* [[#System_Method|System Method]]: if you don't mind modifying your system configuration, requires [[Nix-ld]].
* [[#Nix-Gram-Extensions|Nix-Gram-Extensions]]: if you want to manage extensions with [[Home_Manager|home manager]] or [https://hjem.feel-co.org/ hjem]
* [[#Temp_FHS_Environment|Temp FHS Environment]]: if you don't want to modify your system. Includes full copy-pastable example.
 
=== System Method ===
 
This allows you to use Gram as you'd expect on other distros, able to click Install From URL or Install Local and have Gram compile the extension. This method is a bit hacky, and requires some setup.
 
There are a number of known things needed for Gram to successfully compile extensions itself. Aside from [[#Nix-ld]], which needs to be enabled in your system configuration, everything else can be installed either to system packages, in a devShell, user packages, home manager packages, etc. All examples are primarily for reference, and will only demonstrate installation to system packages. If you want to install using any of the previously listed methods, it should hopefully be fairly simple to translate to your method of choosing.
 
The known requirements are the following:
 
* [[#Nix-ld]]
* [[#Clang]]
* [[#Rust_Wasm32-Wasip2|#Wasm32-Wasip2 Rust Toolchain]]
* [[#Other_Needed_Packages|#Other Needed Packages]]
 
==== Nix-ld ====
 
[[Nix-ld]] must be enabled on the system. This is because Gram pulls in the [https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk wasi-sdk] for portions of the compilation, and the binaries it pulls are made for normal Linux distributions, meaning the linker path they look for doesn't exist without [[Nix-ld]]. Enabling it is as simple as adding the following to your configuration.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{
  programs.nix-ld.enable = true;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Clang ====
 
{{nixos:package|clang|Clang}} must be installed and available under the <code>cc</code> alias, which is true as long as the wrapped clang (the ones referred to as {{nixos:package|clang-wrapper}}) is the one installed and it is not being overwritten by {{nixos:package|gcc}}.
 
You can verify if clang is configured correctly in your environment by opening Gram's terminal (<code>ctrl+`</code> or <code>ctrl+shift+p > terminal panel: toggle</code>) and running the following
 
{{Commands|
clang --version
cc --version
}}
 
Both should return with a version of {{nixos:package|clang}}.
 
==== Rust Wasm32-Wasip2 ====
 
A valid [https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/wasm32-wasip2.html wasm32-wasip2] rust toolchain needs to be installed into your environment.
 
This can be done declaratively with either [[#Fenix]] or [[#Rust-Overlay]]. Or you can have Gram install the toolchain itself by installing [[#Rustup]] to your environment.
 
The [[#Rustup]] option is less declarative, but much simpler if that doesn't bother you.
 
If you've installed with fenix or rust-overlay, you can confirm that it's installed correctly by entering Gram's terminal and running
 
{{Commands|
ls $(rustc --print sysroot)/lib/rustlib
}}
 
If in the command's output is a directory named <code>wasm32-wasip2</code>, it should be installed correctly and Gram will be able to detect it. If it's listed as <code>wasm32-unknown-unknown</code>, see [[Gram#Wasm32_Wrong_Target|Wasm32 Wrong Target]].
 
===== Rustup =====
 
To configure {{nixos:package|rustup}}, just run
 
{{Commands|
rustup default stable
}}
 
As whatever user is using Gram to add the stable toolchain as your default to <code>~/.rustup</code>.


=== Installing Extensions ===
===== Fenix =====


Gram, unlike Zed, builds extensions locally. This means it needs a Rust WASI Toolchain and <code>clang</code> available to it while installing them. Currently, the easiest way to do this is using something like [https://github.com/nix-community/fenix nix-community/fenix] (the same should be able to be done with [https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay rust-overlay]).
This example uses the <code>latest</code> branch, but other options are available, just make sure the versions all match across <code>toolchain</code> and <code>targets</code> or <code>rustc</code>, <code>cargo</code> and <code>targets</code>.


Add <code>fenix</code> to your flake

{{file|flake.nix|nix|
{{file|flake.nix|nix|

}}
}}
The examples all use the stable version attribute set, but any provided by <code>fenix</code> should work.
{{info| Make sure the versions match between <code>${version}.toolchain</code> (or <code>${version}.rustc</code> + <code>${version}.cargo</code>) & <code>targets.wasm32-wasip2.${version}.stable.rust-std</code>
}}
You should be able to copy & paste the <code>let in</code> statement with any of the usage examples below (unless otherwise specified) into a nix module of the appropriate type (<code>homeManager</code>, <code>nixos</code>, <code>devShell</code>). Note that the <code>devShell</code> examples will only work if you launch Gram from in the shell.

=== Nix-Gram-Extensions ===
 
Nix-Gram-Extensions is a project to bring declarative management of Gram extensions to Nix using custom builders and integration with [[Home_Manager|home manager]] and [https://hjem.feel-co.org/ hjem]. It is hosted on [https://codeberg.org/niklaskorz/nix-gram-extensions codeberg] and [https://tangled.org/niklaskorz.eu/nix-gram-extensions tangled]. If you want to install it to your system, it has a detailed section on installation in its [https://codeberg.org/niklaskorz/nix-gram-extensions#installation README]. More information can be found at its [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/gram-extensions-the-nix-way/79024 discourse announcement].

</syntaxhighlight>


==== Flake Parts devShell ====
If you do not want to or cannot enable [[Nix-ld]], you can make a temporary FHS Environment and run Gram in there to build extensions. Provided below are an example <code>flake.nix</code> and <code>shell.nix</code>. Just add these files to a directory, enter it and run <code>nix develop</code>. Then, once you're dropped into the environment's shell, run <code>gram</code> and install your extensions as you would on any other distro. Once they're built, you can run Gram outside of that environment too and they should just work.


If using flake parts, devShells need to have their inputs passed to them by <code>perSystem</code> rather than as a top-level attribute. The file paths are only examples and can be replaced to fit the structure of your project.
And of course, if you prefer [[#Fenix]] or [[#Rustup]], you can modify this example to use them instead of [[#Rust-Overlay]].

==== Wasm32 Wrong Target ====
 
If the wasm32 target is listed as <code>wasm32-unknown-unknown</code>, Gram will be unable to detect it and if rustup isn't installed it will error with <code>failed to run `rustup target add`: no such file or directory</code>, because when it doesn't detect an installed valid toolchain, it tries to install one with [https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch01-01-installation.html?highlight=rustup#installing-rustup-on-linux-or-macos rustup]. This has happened on fenix's stable branch and was fixed by changing to the <code>latest</code> branch.
