This guide takes you through your first steps with the Nix package manager.
While NixOS is a Linux distribution based on Nix, you can install Nix on other Linux distributions, MacOS and Windows via WSL using the install script from our website:
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
| let | |
| pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; | |
| lib = pkgs.lib; | |
| allOptions = (import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).options; | |
| # ** some helpers | |
| # Like mapAttrs, but if `null` is returned from the mapping function, | |
| # the element is removed from the attrset. | |
