## Installation Instructions
### Step 0: Install NixOS Normally
Grab the [nixos iso](https://nixos.org/download/) and install nixos on to your computer using the graphical installer.
> [!TIP]
> You can use [nixos anywhere](https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere) to install your config to other systems (or like, a server) via ssh once you have your desktop installed :)
### Step 1: Enable Flakes and the Nix command
Right now the configuration you installed resides in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`, we want to edit that file to enable the `nix` command and the Flake feature. Simply add this line to that file:
```nix
nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
```
After this is done, go ahead and run `sudo nixos-rebuild switch`.
### Step 2: Cloning the Github Repo
Go ahead and create a nix shell with git with the following:
```bash
nix shell nixpkgs#git
git clone https://github.com/zackartz/nixos-dots.git nixos
```
> [!WARNING]
> Various scripts expect your local config to be at `~/nixos`, by changing the `FLAKE` sessionVariable in `modules/home/shells/zsh/default.nix` you can choose a different path.
### Step 3: Adding a new `system` and `home`
This config is built with [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager), which allows us to declare config files in our home directory and install user-specific applications.
With this, it also uses [snowfall](https://github.com/snowfallorg/lib) which is a directory-oriented opinionated way of structuring your flake, files added to `systems` or `homes` get picked up and auto exported from our flake, and anything in `lib`, `packages`, or `overlays` are exported and automatically shared within our flake.
Let's start with the `system`.
Create a new file in `systems/x86_64-linux/<your-hostname>/default.nix` with the following contents.
```nix
{
pkgs,
lib,
system,
inputs,
config,
...
}: {
imports = [./hardware-configuration.nix];
hardware.audio.enable = true;
hardware.nvidia.enable = false; # Enable if you have a nvidia GPU
ui.fonts.enable = true;
protocols.wayland.enable = true;
services.fstrim.enable = true; # Optional, improve SSD lifespan
services.xserver.enable = true; # Optional, but recommended (allows XWayland to work)
services.gnome.gnome-keyring.enable = true;
# Bootloader.
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = lib.mkForce false;
boot.lanzaboote = {
enable = true;
pkiBundle = "/etc/secureboot";
};
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
networking.hostName = "earth"; # Define your hostname. MUST BE THE SAME AS THE HOSTNAME YOU SPECIFIED EARLIER!!!
# services.openssh = {
# enable = true;
# PasswordAuthentication = true;
# };
time.timeZone = "America/Detroit"; # Change to your TZ
programs.zsh.enable = true;
# REMEMBER TO CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME
users.users.zoey = {
isNormalUser = true;
description = "zoey";
extraGroups = ["networkmanager" "wheel"];
shell = pkgs.zsh;
};
# CHANGE USERNAME HERE TOO
snowfallorg.users.zoey = {
create = true;
admin = false;
home = {
enable = true;
};
};
catppuccin.enable = true; # If you want your TTY to be catppuccin too haha
}
```
Nice! We're also going to need the `hardware-configuration.nix` for your system, copy that file from `/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix` so it sits alongside the `default.nix` file.
Now, lets add a file to define your home. Create a file at `homes/x86_64-linux/<your-username>@<your-hostname>/default.nix`.
```nix
{
inputs,
pkgs,
system,
lib,
...
}: {
wms.hyprland.enable = true; # Hyprland is the only fully-supported window manager in my config atm.
apps = {
web.librewolf.enable = true; # can also use firefox
web.librewolf.setDefault = true;
tools.git.enable = true;
tools.tmux.enable = true;
tools.neovim.enable = true;
tools.skim.enable = true;
tools.starship.enable = true;
tools.direnv.enable = true;
tools.tealdeer.enable = true;
tools.bat.enable = true;
tools.gh.enable = true;
term.kitty.enable = true;
music.spotify.enable = true; # disable if you don't use spotify
helpers = {
anyrun.enable = true;
ags.enable = true;
};
};
shells.zsh.enable = true;
rice.gtk.enable = true;
services.lock.enable = true;
xdg.enable = true;
programs = {
gpg.enable = true;
man.enable = true;
eza.enable = true;
dircolors = {
enable = true;
enableZshIntegration = true;
};
};
catppuccin.enable = true;
catppuccin.flavor = "macchiato";
catppuccin.accent = "pink";
# Add any packages you want in your path here!
home.packages = [
pkgs.ungoogled-chromium
pkgs.postman
pkgs.mosh
pkgs.dconf
pkgs.wl-clipboard
pkgs.pavucontrol
pkgs.wlogout
pkgs.sway-audio-idle-inhibit
pkgs.grim
pkgs.slurp
pkgs.xfce.thunar
pkgs.feh
pkgs.nitch
pkgs.nix-output-monitor
pkgs.nh
pkgs.dwl
pkgs.custom.rebuild
pkgs.custom.powermenu
];
programs.zoxide = {
enable = true;
enableZshIntegration = true;
options = ["--cmd cd"];
};
programs.cava.enable = true;
programs.btop = {
enable = true;
extraConfig = ''
update_ms = 100
vim_keys = true
'';
};
programs.lazygit.enable = true;
programs.fzf.enable = true;
systemd.user.services.xwaylandvideobridge = {
Unit = {
Description = "Tool to make it easy to stream wayland windows and screens to exisiting applications running under Xwayland";
};
Service = {
Type = "simple";
ExecStart = lib.getExe pkgs.xwaylandvideobridge;
Restart = "on-failure";
};
Install = {
WantedBy = ["default.target"];
};
};
services = {
gpg-agent = {
enable = true;
pinentryPackage = lib.mkForce pkgs.pinentry-gnome3;
enableSshSupport = true;
enableZshIntegration = true;
};
};
}
```
This is a pretty minimal config, (with some neat applications), but feel free to disable any you don't want or need!
### Step 4: Installing the config
Once you have all that, run these two commands to install and build the config!
```bash
git add -A # add the new files you created
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/nixos#<your-hostname> # replace the ~/nixos with the location of the config if you changed it.
```
Go ahead and reboot and you should be in the new config, tada!
