Installation

NixOS - From Live Disk

Format drives and build system from any NixOS host, including the live installer disk:

This will erase your drives; use at your own risk!

lsblk # Choose the disk you want to wipe
nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable
nix run github:nmasur/dotfiles#installer -- nvme0n1 tempest

NixOS - From Existing System

If you're already running NixOS, you can switch to this configuration with the following command:

nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:nmasur/dotfiles#tempest

Windows - From NixOS WSL

After installing NixOS on WSL, you can switch to the WSL configuration:

nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:nmasur/dotfiles#hydra

You should also download the FiraCode font and install it on Windows. Install Alacritty and move the windows/alacritty.yml file to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\alacritty.

macOS

To get started on a bare macOS installation, first install Nix:

sh -c "$(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)"

Then use Nix to build nix-darwin:

nix-build https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/archive/master.tar.gz -A installer
./result/bin/darwin-installer

Then switch to the macOS configuration:

darwin-rebuild switch --flake github:nmasur/dotfiles#lookingglass
