forum > How to install haxelib on Debian

  The wiki page:
  http://haxe.org/doc/haxelib/building_haxelib

  ... seems to be outdated. CVS asks for password and after empty password I get:

  Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.motion-twin.com:2401/cvsroot
  CVS password: 
  cvs login: CVS password file /root/.cvspass does not exist - creating a new file
  cvs server: cannot find module `haxe/std/tools/haxelib' - ignored
  cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
  Fatal error: exception Failure("File not found ./haxe/std/tools/haxelib/haxelib.hxml")
  mv: cannot stat `./haxelib*': No such file or directory
  mv: cannot stat `./index.*': No such file or directory
  mkdir: cannot create directory `/haxelib': File exists
  cp: cannot stat `./bin-haxelib/*': No such file or directory

  I think haxelib and other tools can now be found on SVN now.
  http://code.google.com/p/haxe/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fstd%2Ftools%2Fhaxelib
  

  
  I would be inclined on linux to try installing everything via the link on haxenme.org unless you need a cutting edge Haxe, haxelib rarely changes so prob best to install from haxenme and then you can update the Haxe and std from the nightlies. Does that help, sorry I am not sure if the haxelib doc's are up to date, but suggest you look at mac and windows instructions as well, I am not sure any parts are on cvs any more, should be on svn and I think Nicolas is working on a git mirror.

  Thanks. I have the build system running with the NME installer.

  Cool, glad that worked, I know Jacob has put a lot of work to improve the NME install, maybe his new approaches will be used for Haxe 3 to reduce any future install issues.
