nix's Introduction

Nix

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.

nix's Issues

Host a static nix build

https://matthewbauer.us/blog/static-nix.html is great.

We need a way for people to be able to use nix without having to pollute their system configuration. In other cases, users might not have root access on the machine.

I think it's possible to simplify the usage even further to:

alias nix='curl https://nix-community.com/nix | sh' or curl -o ~/bin/nix https://nix-community.com/nix && chmod +x ~/bin/nix.

It seems like the experiment has stalled a bit. The referring build instruction PR has been closed. Fetching from the website is also a bit slower that what I would like.

How does one get perms?

@fricklerhandwerk and I (and maybe also you!) want to replace NixOS#4280 with a bunch of little PRs, but also have a "scratch pad" to sketch out what the whole thing looks like, concurrently with PRing the individual parts as they are ready.

@tomberek thought this might make a good fork to be the "scratch pad", and I agree. So how do we get permissions so we can push to a doc branch?
