Hey i have been needing to install a chemical process simulator, i see that there isnt one on nixpackages, how do i install it?
there is probably a simple way to do it, but im very new to nix and linux to do it.
You should be able to request dwsim on nixos/nixpkgs on github. I think you will need to open an issue with “0.kind: packaging request”. I also think that other options might be either figuring out how to package it yourself (I don’t know how to do so) or use distrobox or qemu
another option would be to use it trough wine. I saw on their website that they have a wine package download. So maybe you can install wine and bottles and try it that way.
I guess wine is indeed an option i was just wondering if there was some way to declare it on my configuration, also they have a linux version for linux (debian based) wouldnt that run better?
yeah it would maybe run better but packaging Debian Packages for nix is rather difficult and not recommended
