ros-use(1)

💖 NAME

okay bestie, welcome to ros-use(1) — the manual page for ros-use, aka the command that sets the default implementation used by roswell. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

ros [options] use impl[/version]

• impl — the name of an implementation which is already installed. New implementations can be downloaded by ros-install(1). The list of installed implementations is available in ros-list(1).
• version — the version specifier. The string representation of the version (e.g. .) depends on each implementation, and roswell generally follows the representation used by the implementation. In addition, a special version name system tells roswell to use the implementation that is installed in your system, which should be in PATH.

lowkey important: that special version name system is the one that points at the implementation installed in your system, and it should be in PATH. 🫶

🌸 example

• ros use sbcl — use the latest SBCL among several versions of SBCLs installed by ros-install. This is compiled from the source, which may take some time to install but allows SLIME to jump to the implementation source code. 🔥
• ros use sbcl-bin — use the latest stable SBCL binary downloaded from vendor's website. Roswell uses this by default. sbcl-bin tends to be an older version compared to sbcl, but surely newer than your apt-get installed counterpart! 😭
• ros use sbcl/1.3.1 — use the compiled SBCL 1.3.1.
• ros use sbcl-bin/1.3.1 — use the prebuilt SBCL 1.3.1.
• ros use sbcl/system — use the SBCL available in the PATH.
• ros use ccl — use the CCL compiled from the source. Same set of version specifiers as for SBCL can be applied.

Roswell also supports abcl, acl, clisp, cmu and ecl. 🌈
