ros-install - Install lisp implementations or quicklisp system
Synopsis
- •
- ros install system [system ...]
- •
- ros install impl[/version] [param ...]
Description
- system
- a name specifying a system.
- impl
- a name specifying a lisp implementation.
Installing a Lisp Implementation
When the impl or system matches to one of the supported implementations, it fetches, downloads and installs it to one of the internal directory managed by roswell (~/.roswell, or ROSWELL_INSTALL_DIR). In order to use the installed implementation, you have to run ros-use(1).For example, the following command downloads the latest sbcl binary from sbcl.org. Note that this may be different from the default binary installed by roswell, called sbcl-bin. sbcl-bin is a stable and well-tested version of the sbcl binary which is supposed to be a little older than the latest sbcl.
-
$ ros install sbcl
When invoked without a name, it prints the list of installable implementations. (Not to be confused with ros list installed, which shows the implementations already installed.)
-
Usage: ros install impl [OPTIONS] For more details on impl specific options, type: ros help install impl Candidates impls for installation are: ecl sbcl clisp ccl-bin sbcl-bin
The name can be optionally followed by a slash / and a version of the implementation.
-
$ ros install sbcl/1.2.14
There might be some hidden implementation that are not listed here --- they are in the alpha quality, but try the one you like or watch the website (https://github.com/roswell/roswell).

$ ros install ccl $ ros install abcl $ ...
Installing a quicklisp system and the bundled roswell scripts
If the specified name does not match any of the implementations, roswell tries to find a quicklisp system of the given name.-
$ ros install alexandria
After compiling and loading the system, it funcalls ros:*build-hook* special variable with no argument, if some function is set during the compilation/load.
When the system comes with a roswell script created by ros-init(1) in the subdirectory roswell, they are installed into ROSWELL_INSTALL_DIR/bin. Setting the path to this directory makes those scripts available from the shell command line.
-
$ ros install qlot System 'qlot' found. Loading the system.. Processing build-hook.. Found 1 scripts: qlot Attempting to install the scripts in roswell/ subdirectory of the system... /home/user/.roswell/bin/qlot $ qlot Usage: qlot [install | update | bundle | exec shell-args..]
