# `dotslash` executables
|
|
|
|
This directory contains various [DotSlash](https://github.com/facebook/dotslash)
|
|
executables: portable executables that are downloaded on demand.
|
|
|
|
DotSlash lets us have our tools available on any platform without the need to
|
|
install them, in a version-controllable and repeatable way that doesn't bloat
|
|
repositories. This helps make sure developers can have consistent environments,
|
|
if they wish to opt in.
|
|
|
|
- [Install DotSlash](https://dotslash-cli.com/docs/installation/)
|
|
- TL;DR cargo users: `cargo install dotslash`
|
|
- TL;DR nix users: `nix profile install nixpkgs#dotslash`
|
|
|
|
Once `dotslash` is somewhere in your `$PATH`, add these files to your `$PATH`
|
|
too:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PATH=$(jj root)/tools/bin:$PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then tools like `buck2`, `reindeer`, and `diffedit3` will work with a small
|
|
one-time startup penalty to download the executable.
