Open your terminal on NixOS Latest.
Update your system:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Ruby
installed because Rake
is a Ruby gem, so run the following command:sudo nix-env -i ruby
git clone https://github.com/ruby/rake.git
cd rake
git checkout latest
gem build rake.gemspec
sudo gem install rake-X.X.X.gem
Replace X.X.X
with the actual version number that is displayed when you run the ls
command.
rake --version
This should output the installed version of Rake
.
Congratulations! You successfully installed Rake
from GitHub on NixOS Latest.
