Home Manager combines the package management prowess of Nix This paves the way for development environments
Environments can then be defined by choosing which versions of certain Is itself an input Nix can install multiple versions of any package side by Each package is placed in a file-system path which contains aĬryptographic checksum constructed from all inputs. Nix aims to make building packages fully reproducible by explicitly definingĮvery input. Package and environmentĭefinitions are written in the Nix Expression Language. Nix is a package management and build system. Let’s first go over what the tools we’ll be using actually are. In this post I’d like to walk you through how to set up Nix and Home Managerįor managing programs and configuration on your own machine. To address these issues, I recently moved my dotfiles configuration to oneīased on Nix and Home Manager and I’m really enjoying Remember what packages I installed for what purpose. It is user-friendly but is pretty slow and it’s hard to macOS and Linux.įor the first point I’ve long used Homebrew on macOS to install It’s tricky to manage configurations which you want to differ slightly forĭifferent machines and environments, e.g.You end up with many configurations files in many different languages.You have to install the relevant programs separately.For several years I’ve been managing my dotfiles with GNU Stow,īut there are a few things about it that bug me:
