For greater comfort, you can use the development shell in shell directory using nix develop.
It saves you from enabling common experimental nix features and makes essential utilities available.
Example:
sudo nix develop --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" ./shell
WARNING: this will erase your data!
You should partition your disk before installing NixOS. This repository offers you a way using disko.
Pick a configuration that suits your preferred target and needs, and use it using nix run.
Example:
nix run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko ./disko/pc/f2fs.nix --arg disks '["/dev/vda"]' # this assumes you are using the comfort shell from this repository
First, you may want to enter the comfort shell.
Format the main disk on which your system will reside:
nix run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko ./disko/pc/f2fs.nix --arg disks '["/dev/vda"]' # this assumes you are using the comfort shell from this repository
Create the persistent directory in /nix:
mkdir /mnt/nix/persist -p
Now run nixos-install:
nixos-install --flake .#pc
