Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package
|
|
management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the [Nix manual](https://nixos.org/nix/manual)
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to Install Nix is to run the following shell command
|
|
(as a user other than root):
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Information on additional installation methods is available on the [Nix download page](https://nixos.org/download.html).
|
