Nix (Just for common packages)

I don't really want to move to full-fledged nix setup because it's a lot of effort. However, I do want to keep some of my common packages/tools in version control, so that it's easy for me to set them up easily when (if) I move my setup.

nix-env

  • Install nix
  • Add the unstable channel so that I have mostly latest versions.
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs
  • Update the channels
$ nix-channel --update
  • Install my stuff
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.myPackages

Emacs (Primary Editor)
