I thought I missed libvips (a prerequisite), but it is installed.
Expected behavior
I expected it to install/build :vix
When I use the same Livebook using livebook server, it does not have the same issue.
          Yup. The app runs in a very limited environment:
# MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
#!/bin/sh
osascript -e "tell app \"System Events\" to display dialog \"$(env)\""
          So yeah, we basically need to manipulate $PATH somehow but worth noting that such notebook is not reproducible, in order to run it we need to run in a specific and implicit build environment. So it's a no-no for sharing but obviously it is an important scenario for just exploring things. For that I think it'd be best to manually adjust $PATH by calling System.put_env("PATH", ...) before Mix.install call. Would that work?
We're also hoping to see packages not needing build environment thanks to projects like:
https://github.com/philss/rustler_precompiled
https://github.com/cocoa-xu/fennec_precompile
          @wojtekmach  I added
path = System.get_env("PATH")
System.put_env("PATH", path <> ":/opt/homebrew/bin")
That got me further but now it complains it cannot find "erl_nif.h".
