R""( # Examples * Bundle Hello: ```console # nix bundle nixpkgs#hello # ./hello Hello, world! ``` * Bundle a specific version of Nix: ```console # nix bundle github:NixOS/nix/e3ddffb27e5fc37a209cfd843c6f7f6a9460a8ec # ./nix --version nix (Nix) 2.4pre20201215_e3ddffb ``` * Bundle a Hello using a specific bundler: ```console # nix bundle --bundler github:NixOS/bundlers#toDockerImage nixpkgs#hello # docker load < hello-2.10.tar.gz # docker run hello-2.10:latest hello Hello, world! ``` # Description `nix bundle`, by default, packs the closure of the *installable* into a single self-extracting executable. See the [`bundlers` homepage](https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers) for more details. > **Note** > > This command only works on Linux. # Flake output attributes If no flake output attribute is given, `nix bundle` tries the following flake output attributes: * `bundlers..default` If an attribute *name* is given, `nix run` tries the following flake output attributes: * `bundlers..` # Bundlers A bundler is specified by a flake output attribute named `bundlers..`. It looks like this: ```nix bundlers.x86_64-linux = rec { identity = drv: drv; blender_2_79 = drv: self.packages.x86_64-linux.blender_2_79; default = identity; }; ``` A bundler must be a function that accepts an arbitrary value (typically a derivation or app definition) and returns a derivation. )""
