Nix Explorer

Now that you're in the nix-shell environment, you can proceed with building and running the Nix Explorer project. Here are the concrete steps: ## 🚀 Building and Running the Project ### Option 1: Build with Cargo (Recommended) Since this is a Rust project using rnix, you can build and run it directly with Cargo: ```bash cargo build cargo run ``` Or for a release build: ```bash cargo build --release cargo run --release ``` ### Option 2: Check Available Commands Look for any project-specific instructions: ```bash # Check if there's a Makefile ls -la # Check Cargo.toml for available commands cat Cargo.toml | grep "\[\[bin\]\]\|\[lib\]" ``` ### Option 3: Explore the Project Structure Since this demonstrates rnix (a Nix parser), you might want to: 1. **Check the source code:** ```bash find src -name "*.rs" | head -10 ``` 2. **Look for examples:** ```bash find examples -name "*.rs" 2>/dev/null || echo "No examples directory" ``` ## 🔍 Understanding What Nix Explorer Does Based on the description, Nix Explorer: - Highlights AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) nodes in valid Nix code - Demonstrates the rnix parser capabilities - Likely provides a way to visualize how Nix code is parsed ## 💡 Next Steps After Running Once you have the project running, you can: - Try parsing some Nix files to see the AST visualization - Experiment with modifying the source code to understand rnix better - Check if there are any command-line arguments: ```bash cargo run -- --help ``` The project should now be ready to use! Start with `cargo run` and explore what the tool can do with Nix code.
