Install without additional features / Mint support

[ashhanai]

Is it possible to install Tuist without SwiftLint or SwiftGen, if we don't want to use these features? With current install options Tuist bundle takes approximately 73 MB, which is too big to be included in our repo.

Another working solution for use would be install and use Tuist via dependency manager such as Mint. Is it included in your roadmap to support another installation method or not?

At the moment it's not possible to remove them from the bundle, but we are already working on making that possible.

Using Mint is not possible due to how the installation of Tuist works. When you install Tuist, what you are installing though is a tool that takes care of managing several Tuist versions and using the one your repository is pinned to. Because of that, Mint is not necessary since Tuist is already doing that work seamlessly.

Given that tuist 4.0 deprecate tuistenv, maybe it makes sense to add Mint support now?

It seems to be more preferable than homebrew due to the ability to manage multiple versions, just like mise.

The advantage of Mint over Mise is that most projects probably already have Mint and adding another package manager is a more difficult task than adding Mint support in dependency :/

@Ernest0-Production supporting installation methods have a maintenance cost and hence why we keep it to the minimal. Still, the community is free to implement and maintain new installers for the plenty of installation tools that exist out there. We'd support you in accommodating the project for that, but it's not something that we'll maintain.

Just to expand on @pepibumur's answer:

Note that you don't have to bundle tuist at all - having .tuist-version file created via tuist local x.y.z should be sufficient for tuist to choose the proper version. The only negative of this is that tuist needs to install the specific version if it's not installed locally - but since we offer pre-built binaries, the download of new versions is very quick.
