Description

A nix flake that installs Pianoteq8 on nixos. The license key and binary are still required and have to be acquired manually from https://www.modartt.com/.

NOTE: You can also install older versions by selecting the respective tag from the branch dropdown.

Usage

Right now, I am really new to NixOS and Nix so this might be an awkward way of installing a package. I might try to enhance this in the future and maybe even put it in the NUR.

1. Download the pianoteq_linux_v841.7z file from https://www.modartt.com/
2. Put pianoteq_linux_v841.7z into the nix store

nix store add-file ./pianoteq_linux_v841.7z

1. In your main flake.nix file add the following line to your inputs

inputs = {
  #...
  pianoteq.url = "github:qhga/nix-pianoteq";
  #...
};

1. Use the following in order to install the package

environment.systemPackages = [
  #...
  pianoteq.packages.x86_64-linux.default
  #...
];

Add a new Version

1. Download the new release from https://www.modartt.com/
2. Get the new sha256 hash in sri format

nix hash to-sri --type sha256 `sha256sum pianoteq_linux_$NEW_VERSION.7z | awk '{print $1}'`

1. Change the version numbers in the flake.nix file and adjust the sha256 hash

src = requireFile {
  name = "pianoteq_linux_$NEW_VERSION.7z";
  message = "Download the file from: https://www.modartt.com/download?file=pianoteq_linux_$NEW_VERSION.7z and add it to the nix store manually: nix store add-file ./pianoteq_linux_$NEW_VERSION.7z";
  sha256 = "$NEW_HASH";
};

1. Put the new release 7z into the nix store

nix store add-file ./pianoteq_linux_$NEW_VERSION.7z
