Installation

Makefile handles most things. Running make will determine if this is a NixOS or Nix home-manager only install. make nixos and make home execute either explicitly.

NixOS

Clone repo into /etc/nixos/config, make nixos will do this for you otherwise. Edit your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix to import top level expression, e.g.:

{ config, pkgs, ... }: {
  imports =
    [
      # Other imports (e.g. ./hardware-configuration.nix)
      ./config/hostname.nix
    ];
  # Rest of your configuration.nix goes here
}

Nix home-manager

Must have nix installed to proceed

Clone repo and run make or make home, a machine and user specific home-manager config will be created if it doesn't already exist, and then linked to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/. Execute:

nix-shell -p home-manager -- run "home-manager switch -b backup"

to install configuration. Home-manager will self-manager after this.
