Plan9port Configuration

This is my personal plan9port configuration. It works across all platforms supported by plan9port.

Installation

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone https://github.com/xmonk/p9p.git .p9p

Then add the following to your .bashrc:

if [ -d $HOME/.p9p ]; then
    . $HOME/.p9p/rc
fi

Apply the changes and optionally run the install script:

$ . $HOME/.bashrc
$ ./.p9p/install    # Optional

macOS-specific Features

If you're using macOS, the install script will:

• Install Plumb.app, 9term.app, Acme.app and Sam.app in /Applications
• Download and install useful tools from GitHub
• Generate a LaunchAgent for acme-lsp (if installed)

Using acme-lsp with the alsp Command

The alsp command provides a convenient interface for managing acme-lsp:

$ alsp -h    # Show help and available options

Common operations:

$ alsp -L    # Load the acme-lsp launch agent
$ alsp -s    # Start acme-lsp (requires acme to be running)
$ alsp -t    # Check if acme-lsp is running
$ alsp -T    # View recent log entries
$ alsp -o    # Show paths to log files

You can also use other options like -S to stop the service, -r to restart it, and -c to truncate log files.

The configuration ensures log directories exist when starting the service, making it easier to manage your acme-lsp environment.
