This seems to work for me:

nix run https://src.thehellings.com/greg/aider-flake/-/archive/main/aider-flake-main.zip

Although some “interactive /help” dependencies seem to be missing:

> /help how to start                                                                                                                                                           

To use interactive /help you need to install the help extras:

/nix/store/pfv4raslwhi3101k342752v65zxkwrxq-python3-3.11.9/bin/python3.11 -m pip install aider-chat[help] --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
22

This works for me. Although here, too, it seems aider[help] was not used:

> /help how to start                                                                                                                                                           

To use interactive /help you need to install the help extras:

/nix/store/747rhv8hh2w8kqwyni7jcfqzxpldxxcv-python3-3.11.9/bin/python3.11 -m pip install aider-chat[help] --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu

I found yet another Aider flake, which seems to build on Python 3.12:

24

Added optional dependencies for help, browser & playwrigtht!

25

Ah, that should be git+https://src.thehellings.com/greg/aider-flake.

And that flake should include an existing overlay that anyone can use to test.

26

The version in nixpkgs is going to address the problems with running in Python 3.12. There was an issue with a dependent library that had support dropped in Python 3.12 that we have since worked around in those PRs.

27

I have updated the README.md file with the full URL and also added in the dependencies for the Help. At least, I think I got the help working.

Okay! I added the flake to my local setup. aider starts but it croaks with:

  File "/nix/store/pfv4raslwhi3101k342752v65zxkwrxq-python3-3.11.9/lib/python3.11/ctypes/__init__.py", line 454, in LoadLibrary

29

Is that while running the flake directly, or while consuming it as an overlay?

30

That’s using the flake in this commit.

I’ll help test. I just added it to my system similar to your commit above.

I’m getting this error: tensorflow-2.13.0 not supported for interpreter python3.12 using rev eaa183087b3fe704ce9f8bdb956bb66a623467fa on main branch.

32

Also tested with the overlay method and got the tensorflow error. When I try to switch to python311 on nixos-unstable I get the following:
error: aider should use 'buildPythonPackage' or 'toPythonModule' if it is to be part of the Python packages set.

33

Correct, this won’t run on Python 3.12 until I or someone can get tensorflow to run on 3.12. I’m working my way through the completely missing dependencies at the moment before I tackle that. Tensorflow is a very non-trivial package to tackle.

Noticed your from Dallas! I’m also live in the area. Nice to know I’m not the only NixOS user in the deep south. :slight_smile:

I have fixed this up. At least, it now works for me locally without that error message.

36

Odd. Can you try doing it again, with just a raw nix run "git+https://...." as elsewhere documented? It might be working better now, but I’m not completely sure. I’m down to only one more package that needs to get merged into nixpkgs before I can put the base aider package directly into the main repo.

37

Indeed! The nerd runs strong in the Dallas area, but I haven’t encountered any other NixOS users, yet, to my knowledge.

Same deal:

Reporting back here for a successful test, was able to install aider on my machine via python311, the overlay method, and your recent changes!

I’m also able to install it now, but getting the same error as @jevy when I try to use it.
