This documents that all installables in the nix3 commands, in their --file/-f form accept an extended syntax for the file argument, which is the same as it is for nix-build and friends, some of which were well known in their nix-build forms (e.g. `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello) but are not well known in their nix3 forms (people rarely know that you can `nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' firefox`). Like the old CLI syntax, as documented in [1], file arguments also accept https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed flakerefs, and the cursed `channel:` prefixed hardened URLs. [1]: |

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.

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

For systems that already have Nix installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page
