<title>Description</title>
<para>
The command <command>nix-env</command> is used to manipulate Nix
user environments. User environments are sets of software
components available to a user at some point in time. In other
words, they are a synthesised view of the programs available in
the Nix store. There may be many user environments: different
users can have different environments, and individual users can
switch between different environments.
</para>
<!-- <para>
Environments are manipulated by operations such as the
installation and removal of components (hereafter called
<emphasis>derivations</emphasis>). These operations are not
destructive: rather than overwrite the current environment, they
create a new environment to which we can then atomically
<emphasis>switch</emphasis> by flipping a symlink.
</para> -->
<para>
<command>nix-env</command> takes exactly one
<emphasis>operation</emphasis> flag which indicates the
subcommand to be performed. These are documented below.

The default Nix expression used by the

some other location set using the
<option>--import</option> operation. The

A symbolic link to the user's current user environment.

The <envar>PATH</envar> environment variable should
include <filename>~/.nix-userenv</filename> for the use
environments to be visible to the user.
