**Not yet available.** If you have an existing configuration on **NixOS** or **nix-darwin**, the easiest way
to switch to Lix is currently by using our provided _NixOS module_. Fortunately, this
usually means adding only a couple of lines to your configuration.
This install page is currently hidden until this website officially launches. We appreciate how excited you must be, ## Flake-based Configurations
given you've found this site ahead of time! Thanks for your support and patience. <3
<small><small> Adding Lix to a flake-based configuration is relatively simple. First, add the Lix module to your _flake inputs_:
_Psst! If you're in our beta and want to peek at the instructions ahead of time, they're in the git repo for this website._
</small></small>
```nix
{
inputs = {
# Add this section to your flake inputs!
#
# Note that this assumes you have a flake-input called nixpkgs,
# which is often the case. If you've named it something else,
# you'll need to change the `nixpkgs` below.
lix = {
url = "git+https://git@git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix?ref=refs/tags/2.90-beta.1";
flake = false;
};
lix-module = {
url = "git+https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module";
inputs.lix.follows = "lix";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
}
# <rest of configuration omitted>
}
```
Next, add the `lix-module` as one of the arguments to your output function:
```nix
{
# <configuration above omitted>
# Add the `lix-module` argument to your output function, as below:
outputs = {nixpkgs, lix-module, ...}: {
# <rest of configuration omitted>
}
}
```
Add the Lix _NixOS Module_ to your configuration:
```nix
{
# <configuration above omitted>
# Add the `lix-module` argument to your output function, as below:
outputs = {nixpkgs, lix-module, ...}: {
# The configuration here is an example; it will look slightly different
# based on your platform (NixOS, nix-darwin) and architecture.
nixosConfigurations.your-box = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux"
modules = [
# This is the important part -- add this line to your module list!
lix-module.nixosModules.default
];
};
}
# <configuration below omitted>
}
```
Finally, if you'd prefer not to build Lix yourself, you can add our binary cache.
Add the following to any NixOS module in your configuration (e.g. `configuration.nix`):
```nix
{
nix.settings.extra-substituters = [
"https://cache.lix.systems"
];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
"cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o="
];
}
```
Rebuild and switch into your new system (either using `nixos-rebuild` or `darwin-rebuild`).
You should now be using Lix! You can verify this by asking the `nix` command to report its version:
```sh
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-beta.0
```
As long as you see `Lix` in the output, you're good! If you're not sure what to do now, it's a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
## Non-Flake Configurations
If you're not using flakes, you can set up your configuration to automatically pull down a
Lix release tarball, and then add it to your `configuration.nix`.
Open your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` in the editor of your choice. Find the `imports`
section, and add the line provided in the configuration
<mark>
<b>This section is currently pending on a quick update.</b>
</mark>
<br/>
<br/>
```nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports =
[ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
./hardware-configuration.nix
# This is the core line -- it pulls down the Lix module and
# includes it in your configuration. It looks much nicer with a let
# binding -- but for clarity, we'll leave that as an exercise for the
# reader. :)
#
# Note that the tag (e.g. v2.90) in the URL here is what determines
# which version of Lix you'll wind up with.
(import
(
(fetchTarball { url = "https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module/archive/main.tar.gz"; }) + "/module.nix"
)
{
lix = fetchTarball { url = "https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/archive/2.90-beta.1.tar.gz"; };
}
)
];
# <configuration below omitted>
}
```
Finally, if you'd prefer not to build Lix yourself, you can add our binary cache.
Add the following to any NixOS module in your configuration (e.g. `configuration.nix`):
```nix
{
nix.settings.extra-substituters = [
"https://cache.lix.systems"
];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
"cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o="
];
}
```
Rebuild and switch into your new system (either using `nixos-rebuild` or `darwin-rebuild`).
You should now be using Lix! You can verify this by asking the `nix` command to report its version:
```sh
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-beta.0
```
As long as you see `Lix` in the output, you're good! If you're not sure what to do now, it's a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
## Having Trouble?
**One quick thing to check:** have you set `nix.package` anywhere in your configuration?
If so, your configuration option will override the Lix module. You'll want to remove it, first --
or, if you're feeling savvy, point it to the provided Lix package.
**Otherwise:** If you're having difficulty installing Lix, don't panic! Hop on over to our
[community page](/community), and check out the various ways to find help.

</small></small>
## On NixOS
If you haven't already installed NixOS, do so using any upstream
[install image](https://nixos.org/download/#NixOS) and the instructions in the
[NixOS Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation). Then, follow
the instructions for either:
- [flake-based configurations](/add-to-config#flake-based-configurations); or
- [non-flake configurations](/add-to-config#non-flake-configurations)
depending on how you prefer to configure your system.
## On an Existing `nix-darwin` Install
If you already have a [nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin) installation, you
can use the same instructions as installing on a NixOS-based system. Follow the instructions
for either:
- [flake-based configurations](/add-to-config#flake-based-configurations); or
- [non-flake configurations](/add-to-config#non-flake-configurations)
depending on how you prefer to configure your system.
## On Any Other Linux/MacOS System
You can either perform a **new install**, or choose to
**upgrade an existing install** to Lix.
### New Installs
The easiest way to install Lix is to use the [Lix Installer](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix-installer)[^1].
Open a terminal, and run the following command:
```sh
curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
```
The installer will guide you through installing Lix -- and once it's finished,
you'll have a full, working installation. If you're not sure what to do, now is a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
[^1]: a customized variant of the [Determinate Nix Installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer).
### Existing Installs
If you have an existing Nix installation, you should be able to upgrade by using a variant
of the `upgrade-nix` command.
Thanks to Nix, we can actually ask Lix to upgrade your system directly. Run the following command:
```sh
sudo nix run \
--experimental-features "nix-command flakes" \
--extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems \
--trusted-public-keys "cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o=" \
'git+https://git@git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix?ref=refs/tags/2.90-beta.0' -- \
upgrade-nix
```
You should now have upgraded to Lix! You can verify this by asking the `nix` command
to report its version:
```sh
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-beta.1
```
As long as you see `Lix` in the output, you're good! If you're not sure what to do now, it's a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
## Having Trouble?
If you're having difficulty installing Lix, don't panic! Hop on over to our
[community page](/community), and check out the various ways to find help.
## Feedback?
If you have thoughts on these instructions, feel free to drop by our [community](/community),
or to [make a pull request to our website](git@git.lix.systems:lix-project/lix-website.git)!
