Getting started

Binary cache

To avoid long build times and a toasty computer, a binary cache is provided. To enable it, follow the instructions on the nushell-nightly binary cache.

Alternatively, you can enable the cache manually.

• If using NixOS, set the following values in your config:

  nix.settings.substituters = ["https://nushell-nightly.cachix.org"];
  nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = ["nushell-nightly.cachix.org-1:nLwXJzwwVmQ+fLKD6aH6rWDoTC73ry1ahMX9lU87nrc="];

• If using standalone Nix, edit either /etc/nix/nix.conf or ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

  substituters = https://nushell-nightly.cachix.org
  trusted-public-keys = nushell-nightly.cachix.org-1:nLwXJzwwVmQ+fLKD6aH6rWDoTC73ry1ahMX9lU87nrc=
  

Note

If you enable the cache in your user config it won't take effect unless the user is in the trusted-users list.

Using flakes

Using the packages

environment.systemPackages = [
    # You can access nushell, nu_plugin_* and default (alias to nushell)
    inputs.nushell-nightly.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.default;
];

Using the overlay

The flake exports an overlay that takes care of overriding the nushell and nushellPlugins packages.

import nixpkgs {
    overlays = [inputs.nushell-nightly-flake.overlays.default];
    ...
};

Nix without flakes using flake-compat

environment.systemPackages = [
    (import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/JoaquinTrinanes/nushell-nightly-flake/archive/main.tar.gz")).default
];
