 # Idris2 {#sec-idris2}
 
+When developing using Idris2, by default the Idris compiler only has the minimal support libraries in its environment. This means that it will not attempt to read any libraries installed
+globally, for example in the `$HOME` directory. The recommended way to use Idris2 is to wrap the compiler in an environment that provides these packages per-project, for example in a
+devShell.
+
+```nix
+{
+  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
+}:
+pkgs.mkShell {
+  packages = [ (idris2.withPackages (p: [ p.idris2Api ])) ];
+}
+```
+or, alternatively if Nix is used to build the Idris2 project:
+
+```nix
+{
+  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
+}:
+pkgs.mkShell {
+  inputsFrom = [ (pkgs.callPackage ./package.nix { }) ];
+}
+```
+
+By default, the Idris2 compiler provided by Nixpkgs does not read globally installed packages, nor can install them. Running `idris2 --install` will fail because the Nix store is
+a read-only file-system. If globally-installed packages are desired rather than the above strategy, one can set `IDRIS2_PREFIX`, or additional `IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH` entries
+for the compiler to read from. The following snippet will append `$HOME/.idris2` to `$IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH`, and if such a variable does not exist, create it. The Nixpkg's Idris2
+compiler append a few required libraries to this path variable, but any paths in the user's environment will be prefixed to those libraries.
+
+```nix
+{
+  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
+}:
+pkgs.mkShell {
+  packages = [ (idris2.withPackages (p: [ p.idris2Api ])) ];
+  shellHook = ''
+    IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH="''${IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH:+$IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH}$HOME/.idris2"
+  '';
+}
+```
+The following snippet will allow the Idris2 to run `idris2 --install` successfully:
+```nix
+{
+  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
+}:
+pkgs.mkShell {
+  packages = [ (idris2.withPackages (p: [ p.idris2Api ])) ];
+  shellHook = ''
+    IDRIS2_PREFIX="$HOME/.idris2"
+  '';
+}
+```
+
 In addition to exposing the Idris2 compiler itself, Nixpkgs exposes an `idris2Packages.buildIdris` helper to make it a bit more ergonomic to build Idris2 executables or libraries.
 
 The `buildIdris` function takes an attribute set that defines at a minimum the `src` and `ipkgName` of the package to be built and any `idrisLibraries` required to build it. The `src` is the same source you're familiar with and the `ipkgName` must be the name of the `ipkg` file for the project (omitting the `.ipkg` extension). The `idrisLibraries` is a list of other library derivations created with `buildIdris`. You can optionally specify other derivation properties as needed but sensible defaults for `configurePhase`, `buildPhase`, and `installPhase` are provided.

 ```
 
 The above uses the default value of `withSource = false` for the `idris2Api` but could be modified to include that library's source by passing `(idris2Api { withSource = true; })` to `idrisLibraries` instead. `idris2Api` in the above derivation comes built in with `idris2Packages`. This library exposes many of the otherwise internal APIs of the Idris2 compiler.
+
+The compiler package can be instantiated with packages on its `IDRIS2_PACKAGES` path from the `idris2Packages` set.
+
+```nix
+{
+  idris2,
+  devShell,
+}:
+let
+  myIdris = idris2.withPackages (p: [ p.idris2Api ]);
+in
+devShell {
+  packages = [ myIdris ];
+}
+```
+
+This search path is extended from the path already in the user's environment.
