Whether you're a new or returning user, **we're thrilled you've decided to pick up Lix!**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lix works out-of-the-box on most Linux and MacOS systems, including with system management tools
|
||||||
|
such as [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) and
|
||||||
|
[nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin) -- but, like any Nix-based system, some Nix background
|
||||||
|
knowledge is recommended before installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're new to the Nix ecosystem, you may want to check out some [community resources](/resources)
|
||||||
|
first, to get familiar with how Nix works.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 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).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Existing Installs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have an existing Nix installation, you should be able to upgrade by using a variant
|
||||||
|
of the `upgrade-nix` command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If you have flakes enabled**, the following command should perform an upgrade:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
$ sudo nix run 'https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix' -- upgrade-nix
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**If you don't have flakes enabled**, you can perform a slightly more complex command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
$ ***TODO FIXME***
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should now have an upgraded version of Nix. You can verify this by asking Lix
|
||||||
|
to report its version:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
$ nix --version
|
||||||
|
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-lix
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.

||||||
