eldritch horrors 5e9db09761 libstore: downsize hook pipes don't keep fds open we're not using. currently this does not cause any problems, but it does increase the size of our fd table needlessly and in the future, when we have proper async processing, having builderOut open in the daemon once the hook has been fully started is problematic Change-Id: `I6e7fb773b280b042873103638d3e04272ca1e4fc`		2024-08-19 09:13:44 +00:00

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):

$ 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

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
