Here's my guide so far:
$ rg '((?!(recursive).*) Nix
(?!(daemon|store|expression|Rocks!|Packages|language|derivation|archive|account|user|sandbox|flake).*))'
-g '!doc/' --pcre2
All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for lix-project/lix#162.
Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.
Fixes: lix-project/lix#148.
Fixes: lix-project/lix#162.

Note: this command's interface is based heavily around installables, which you may want to read about first (nix --help
).
Examples
-
Run the default app from the
blender-bin
flake:# nix run blender-bin
-
Run a non-default app from the
blender-bin
flake:# nix run blender-bin#blender_2_83
Tip: you can find apps provided by this flake by running
nix flake show blender-bin
. -
Run
vim
from thenixpkgs
flake:# nix run nixpkgs#vim
Note that
vim
(as of the time of writing of this page) is not an app but a package. Thus, Lix runs the eponymous file from thevim
package. -
Run
vim
with arguments:# nix run nixpkgs#vim -- --help
Description
nix run
builds and runs installable, which must evaluate to an
app or a regular Nix derivation.
If installable evaluates to an app (see below), it executes the program specified by the app definition.
If installable evaluates to a derivation, it will try to execute the
program <out>/bin/<name>
, where out is the primary output store
path of the derivation, and name is the first of the following that
exists:
- The
meta.mainProgram
attribute of the derivation. - The
pname
attribute of the derivation. - The name part of the value of the
name
attribute of the derivation.
For instance, if name
is set to hello-1.10
, nix run
will run
$out/bin/hello
.
Flake output attributes
If no flake output attribute is given, nix run
tries the following
flake output attributes:
-
apps.<system>.default
-
packages.<system>.default
If an attribute name is given, nix run
tries the following flake
output attributes:
-
apps.<system>.<name>
-
packages.<system>.<name>
-
legacyPackages.<system>.<name>
Apps
An app is specified by a flake output attribute named
apps.<system>.<name>
. It looks like this:
apps.x86_64-linux.blender_2_79 = {
type = "app";
program = "${self.packages.x86_64-linux.blender_2_79}/bin/blender";
};
The only supported attributes are:
-
type
(required): Must be set toapp
. -
program
(required): The full path of the executable to run. It must reside in the Nix store.
