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:

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:

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:

darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/dev/personal/dotfiles
