<title>Using Nix</title>
|

|
||||
<para>
|
||||
To use Nix, some environment variables should be set. In particular,
|
||||
<literal>PATH</literal> should contain the directories
|
||||
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/bin</filename> and
|
||||
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/var/nix/links/current/bin</filename>.
|
||||
The first directory contains the Nix tools themselves, while the second
|
||||
contains to the current <emphasis>user environment</emphasis> (an
|
||||
automatically generated package consisting of symlinks to installed
|
||||
packages). The simplest way to set the required environment variables is
|
||||
to include the file
|
||||
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</filename>
|
||||
in your <filename>~/.bashrc</filename> (or similar), like this:
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
. <replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</screen>

Let's start from the perspective of an end-user. Common operations at
|
||||
this level are to install and remove packages, ask what packages are
|

installed or available for installation, and so on.

<para>
|

To install packages, a <emphasis>Nix expression</emphasis> is required
|
||||
that tells Nix how to build that package. There is a <ulink

url='https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/dist/trace/trace-nixpkgs-trunk.tar.bz2'>standard
|
||||
distribution of Nix expressions</ulink> for many common packages.
