I am unable to find any information on how to use wally.
The github repo has no information on how to use it, only what the commands are and what the file format looks like as if I already know how to use it. There should be a “Basic Usage” section.
Assuming I know nothing about wally or packages or npm or crates (which is the case), can someone tell me how to use wally to get Knit installed in my game?
If you’re looking for just Knit, you just put it in ReplicatedStorage (According to its readme)
Wally is used like the tools it is built off of, so maybe familiarize yourself with npm and it might become easier.
I’m trying to figure out how to use Wally, I asked for Knit so someone can make a concrete example using Knit (also because I want to add Knit via wally to my game)
So I have to figure it out myself is what you are saying
I am watching tutorials on npm.
It would be nice if there was a tutorial section on the github because wally might be the first package manager that someone learns about. But it doesn’t help complaining to you xD
Sorry for bumping this month old topic, but did you ever find a solution? I’m trying to figure out how to install it, the instructions on the github page are a bit unclear.
Sleitnick, the creator of knit, recently made a video about setting up knit with rojo and wally, and luckily it contains a section on setting up wally, to be specific the Project Setup timeline in the vid.
And yes, I agree that the documentation on it is poor.
Yes I found a solution, I had to pick out the answer word by word on the Roblox OSS discord because everyone there was assuming I knew everything about a computer.
Essentially you need to learn about environment variables, and add the path that wally.exe is installed to PATH
That’s the way I did it you can also do it the way sleitnick showed in his video by compiling it with Rust.
old topic… but anyways you should use aftman to install wally
