Installation

Note

You should review the configuration variables in `flake.nix` before installing.
Also, check the imports at the top of `hosts/Default/configuration.nix`

You can use the install.sh script while booted into a system or in the live installer.
If you prefer the latter, you can obtain an ISO from https://nixos.org/download.
The minimal ISO is recommended, but you can use any.

git clone https://github.com/Sly-Harvey/NixOS.git ~/NixOS

cd ~/NixOS

./install.sh

Rebuilding

There are 4 ways to rebuild.

1. Press Super + U.
2. Run rebuild in the terminal
3. Execute the install.sh script again.
4. Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/NixOS#Default if you installed from the live iso then use /etc/nixos#Default

For a list of keybinds press Super + ? or Super + Ctrl + K

How to Use the Development Shells

• To initialise a new project from a template:

nix flake init -t ~/NixOS#NAME

• Alternatively, use the new keyword to create a new directory:

nix flake new -t ~/NixOS#NAME PROJECT_NAME

Replace NAME with any template defined in dev-shells/default.nix.
These commands will generate a flake.nix and flake.lock file in your project directory.
To enter the development shell:

• Use direnv if configured, or navigate to the project directory and run:

nix develop
