This is primarily useful if you're hacking simultaneously on a package and one of its dependencies. E.g. if you're hacking on Hydra and Nix, you would start a dev shell for Nix, and then a dev shell for Hydra as follows: $ nix develop \ --redirect .#hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux.nix ~/Dev/nix/outputs/out \ --redirect .#hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux.nix.dev ~/Dev/nix/outputs/dev (This assumes hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux has a passthru.nix attribute. You can also use a store path.) This causes all references in the environment to those store paths to be rewritten to ~/Dev/nix/outputs/{out,dev}. Note: unfortunately, you may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/Dev/nix/outputs/out/lib because Nixpkgs' ld-wrapper only adds -rpath entries for -L flags that point to the Nix store. |

Nix
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 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):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
