How to install external libraries in CUE

[debuggerrr]

How can I install libraries in cue via shell? Suppose I want to install "fmt" for printing purposes but I didn't find a way to install it. In GO it comes by default but how to manage it in CUE?

There is no fmt package in CUE. There is a tool/cli.Print available in the scripting layer.

The dependency management system is still TBD, but will be very close to Go's. In the meantime, you can install 3rd party modules following one of the methods here: https://cuetorials.com/first-steps/modules-and-packages/

@verdverm I tried importing this tool/cli.print but it gave me the below error:

package "tool/cli.Print" imported but not defined in :
    ./mycue.cue:3:2
#Component: reference "Print" not found:
    ./mycue.cue:11:2

I used Print(var) or is there any other way of using it? or do I need to follow the link you shared for importing this package?

Package management, for tracking dependencies, is under the proposal at #851. For any other related questions, like getting help to use tool/cli, see https://github.com/cue-lang/cue#contact. Note that the package is tool/cli, not tool/cli.Print.

Cool. Thanks will explore that.
