<refsection><title>Description</title>
<para>The command <command>nix-install-package</command> interactively
installs a Nix Package file (<filename>*.nixpkg</filename>), which is
a small file that contains a store path to be installed along with the
URL of a binary cache. The Nix Package file is either
<replaceable>file</replaceable>, or automatically downloaded from
<replaceable>url</replaceable> if the <option>--url</option> switch is
used.</para>
<para><command>nix-install-package</command> is used in <link
linkend="sec-one-click">one-click installs</link> to download and
install pre-built binary packages with all necessary dependencies.
<command>nix-install-package</command> is intended to be associated
with the MIME type <literal>application/nix-package</literal> in a web
browser so that it is invoked automatically when you click on
<filename>*.nixpkg</filename> files. When invoked, it restarts itself
in a terminal window (since otherwise it would be invisible when run
from a browser), asks the user to confirm whether to install the
package, and if so downloads and installs the package into the users
current profile.</para>
<para>To obtain a window, <command>nix-install-package</command> tries
to restart itself with <command>xterm</command>,
<command>konsole</command> and
<command>gnome-terminal</command>.</para>

<title>One-Click Installation</title>
<para>Often, when you want to install a specific package (e.g., from
the <link
xlink:href="http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/">Nix
Packages collection</link>), subscribing to a channel is a bit
cumbersome. And channels dont help you at all if you want to install
an older version of a package than the one provided by the current
contents of the channel, or a package that has been removed from the
channel. Thats when <emphasis>one-click installs</emphasis> come in
handy: you can just go to the web page that contains the package,
click on it, and it will be installed with all the necessary
dependencies.</para>
<para>For instance, you can go to <link
xlink:href="http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/trunk/channel/latest"
/> and click on any link for the individual packages for your
platform. The first time you do this, your browser will ask what to
do with <literal>application/nix-package</literal> files. You should
open them with <filename>/nix/bin/nix-install-package</filename>.
This will open a window that asks you to confirm that you want to
install the package. When you answer <literal>Y</literal>, the
package and all its dependencies will be installed. This is a binary
deployment mechanism — you get packages pre-compiled for the selected
platform type.</para>
<para>You can also install <literal>application/nix-package</literal>
files from the command line directly. See <xref
linkend='sec-nix-install-package' /> for details.</para>
