rocup - compiler installation management tool · contributing

Hi!, I have created for myself rocup (https://github.com/appblue/rocup) simple tool for installing the latest nightly build version of the compiler and making it available on the PATH by symlinking to the /usr/local/bin (usually available in the path on U*ix systems).

The tool keeps all previously downloaded nightly versions, so subsequent executions allow for selection of one of the previous versions.

I find it useful, because sometimes it's good to test the code against older versions of the compiler ...

Good point - I have actually forgot to run git -A when pushing to the repo ... it's fixed now

I think you accidentally changed the directory for the language server when you fixed the other issue.
Line 38 should be:
sudo ln -sf $ROCUP_HOME/roc/roc_language_server /usr/local/bin/roc_language_server
but it is currently:
sudo ln -sf $ROCUP_HOME/.rocup/roc_language_server /usr/local/bin/roc_language_server

I was having issues with the language server not being in path despite having a symlink for both binaries, but then I realized that there wasn't actually a file at the location where the LS symlink was pointing.

Thanks for your comment. it's already fixed - I haven't noticed it because I had my links created from previous executions
