Install Nix

This is only necessary when you're not running NixOS.

# On MacOS
# Use Determinate Systems Nix installer
# I find this a more stable and reliable installation for MacOS
# You can also use the official Nix installer
# sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
# Install Homebrew (Optional)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# Add the fonts tap (Optional)
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
# Change the hostname and machine name
# Go to System Settings and change both the machine name and Sharing hostname
# to the machine hostname.
# You also want to set the hostname using `scutil`
sudo scutil --set HostName <hostname>

# On Linux
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

See Nix download page for more info.

This dotfiles use Nix Flakes, make sure it's enabled on your system.

Using NixOS, add the following to your configuration.nix:

nix = {
  package = pkgs.nixFlakes;
  extraOptions = ''
    experimental-features = nix-command flakes
  '';
};

Otherwise:

mkdir -p "$HOME/.config/nix"
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> "$HOME/.config/nix/nix.conf"
