# 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!**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable
 | 
						|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:nmasur/dotfiles#tempest
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Windows - From NixOS WSL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After [installing NixOS on
 | 
						|
WSL](https://xeiaso.net/blog/nix-flakes-4-wsl-2022-05-01), 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](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.2.2/FiraCode.zip)
 | 
						|
font and install it on Windows. Install [Alacritty](https://alacritty.org/) 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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Launch a new shell. Then use Nix to switch to the macOS configuration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
sudo rm /etc/bashrc
 | 
						|
sudo rm /etc/nix/nix.conf
 | 
						|
export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE="$HOME/Documents/t2-ca-bundle.pem"
 | 
						|
nix \
 | 
						|
    --extra-experimental-features flakes \
 | 
						|
    --extra-experimental-features nix-command \
 | 
						|
    run nix-darwin -- switch \
 | 
						|
    --flake github:nmasur/dotfiles#lookingglass
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once installed, you can continue to update the macOS configuration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/dev/personal/dotfiles
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
