# 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 Nix 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 Nix installed**, such as NixOS systems, read our [install page](https://lix.systems/install)
