I found it easier to clone TidalCycles and run it as (hackable!) source than to install it.

Also, installing sc3-plugins for Supercollider used to be hard, on NixOS but now there's a single package that has both, supercollider-with-sc3-plugins.

I also managed to install it on NixOS using that package and installing latest Tidal using cabal install tidal --lib. When I tried using the Tidal Nix package I couldn't make both Atom and Doom Emacs pick on it.

On Arch Linux I've encountered no problem at all.
