# Lix

**Lix** is an implementation of **Nix**, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

## Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command
(as a user other than root):

```console
$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
```

For systems that **already have a Nix implementation installed**, such as NixOS systems, read our [install page](https://lix.systems/install)

## Building And Developing

See our [Hacking guide](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/branch/main/doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md) in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.

chore: rebrand Nix to Lix when it makes sense Here's my guide so far: $ rg '((?!(recursive).) Nix (?!(daemon\|store\|expression\|Rocks!\|Packages\|language\|derivation\|archive\|account\|user\|sandbox\|flake).))' -g '!doc/' --pcre2 All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side: that's for https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/162. Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which were not relevant were also replaced.

README: clarify license to match documentation For years both the documentation and nixpkgs have said that CppNix is LGPL-2.1-or-later, not LGPL-2.1-only as is somewhat implied by the README. We are choosing to update the README to match the rest of the references.
