Installing via Nix (Linux)

--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Make sure you are using a 64-bit x86 Linux system. If you are using other systems, such as 32-bit x86, Nix will attempt to compile a number of dependencies from source on your machine. This may work, but the installation process will use a lot of CPU time, memory, and disk space.
|
||||
First, install the Nix package manager. Some distributions provide a package for the Nix package manager, otherwise, it can be installed via the script on the `Nix website <http://nixos.org/nix/>`_. Make sure you get Nix version 2.4 or higher.

|

Once Nix is installed, enable Flakes ::
|
||||
|
||||
Once Nix is installed, add the M-Labs package channel with: ::
|
||||
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
|
||||
$ echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" > ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix-channel --add https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/channel/custom/artiq/full-beta/artiq-full
|
||||
The easiest way to obtain ARTIQ is then to install it into the user environment with ``$ nix profile install git+https://github.com/m-labs/artiq.git``. Answer "Yes" to the questions about setting Nix configuration options. This provides a minimal installation of ARTIQ where the usual commands (``artiq_master``, ``artiq_dashboard``, ``artiq_run``, etc.) are available.
|
||||
|
||||
Those channels track `nixpkgs 21.05 <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/release-21.05>`_. You can check the latest status through the `Hydra interface <https://nixbld.m-labs.hk>`_. As the Nix package manager default installation uses the development version of nixpkgs, we need to tell it to switch to the release: ::
|
||||
This installation is however quite limited, as Nix creates a dedicated Python environment for the ARTIQ commands alone. This means that other useful Python packages that you may want (pandas, matplotlib, ...) are not available to them.
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix-channel --remove nixpkgs
|
||||
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05 nixpkgs
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, make all the channel changes effective: ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix-channel --update
|
||||
|
||||
Nix won't install packages without verifying their cryptographic signature. Add the M-Labs public key by creating the file ``~/.config/nix/nix.conf`` with the following contents:

This installation is however quite limited, as Nix creates a dedicated Python environment for the ARTIQ commands alone.

Installing multiple packages and making them visible to the ARTIQ commands requires using the Nix language. Create a file ``my-artiq-env.nix`` with the following contents:

Upgrading ARTIQ (with Nix)

--------------------------

Run ``$ nix-channel --update`` to retrieve information about the latest versions, and then either reinstall ARTIQ into the user environment (``$ nix-env -i python3.6-artiq``) or re-run the ``nix-shell`` command.
|
||||
Run ``$ nix profile upgrade`` if you installed ARTIQ into your user profile. If you used a ``flake.nix`` shell environment, make a back-up copy of the ``flake.lock`` file to enable rollback, then run ``$ nix flake update`` and re-enter ``$ nix shell``.
|
||||
|
||||
To rollback to the previous version, use ``$ nix-channel --rollback`` and then re-do the second step. You can switch between versions by passing a parameter to ``--rollback`` (see the ``nix-channel`` documentation).

To rollback to the previous version, respectively use ``$ nix profile rollback`` or restore the backed-up version of the ``flake.lock`` file.

Obtaining the board binaries
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If you have an active firmware subscription with M-Labs or QUARTIQ, you can obtain firmware that corresponds to the currently installed version of ARTIQ using AFWS (ARTIQ firmware service). One year of subscription is included with most hardware purchases. You may purchase or extend firmware subscriptions by writing to the sales@ email.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the command::
|
||||
|
||||
$ afws_client USERNAME build VARIANT AFWS_DIRECTORY
|
||||
|
||||
Replace ``USERNAME`` with the login name that was given to you with the subscription, ``VARIANT`` with the name of your system variant, and ``AFWS_DIRECTORY`` to the name of an empty directory, which will be created by the command if it does not exist. Enter your password when prompted and wait for the build (if applicable) and download to finish. If you experience issues with the AFWS client, write to the helpdesk@ email.
|
||||
|
||||
Without a subscription, you may build the firmware yourself from the open source code. See the section :ref:`Developing ARTIQ <developing-artiq>`.
