Installing Alice

Alice is still in the early stages of development so no install script or system packages are available yet. If you want to try it out there are some options.

Build from Source

Alice is a Dune project (for now at least until it can build itself!). Its source code is here. Read the README file for notes on how best to build the project.

Binary Releases

Download the latest binary package from Alice’s releases page. After extracting, add the bin directory from the package to your PATH variable to make the alice command runnable in your shell.

Shell Completions

Alice can generate its own completion scripts (currently just for bash):

$ alice internal completions bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Completion script for alice. Generated by climate.
...

Put this script in a file and source it from your shell to enable Alice’s shell completions. For example:

$ mkdir -p ~/.alice
$ alice internal completions bash > ~/.alice/completions.sh

Then add the following to your ~/.bashrc:

source ~/.alice/completions.sh

In new shells you’ll be able to complete alice commands. E.g.:

$ alice <TAB>
build     dot       internal  run
clean     help      new       tools
