The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches), unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the user's environment. For best results, associate the command `xterm -e /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type `application/x-nix-package' and visit http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/. |

Prerequisites ============= * Berkeley DB 4.0.14 * CWI ATerm 2.0 Installation ============ * When building from the Subversion repository, first do: autoreconf -i * To build, do: ./configure make make install Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix. You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you want to use prebuilt packages from other sources. Usage ===== TODO
