Valentin Gagarin 7598126391 remove separate meta-section, add architecture diagram
the diagram is a first approximation and only covers that same section.
of course there is much more going on, and other features should at some

we also have to think about presentation format and technicalities
behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something
more refined for web view.

Nix

Open Collective supporters Test

Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
