Installation

1. First, you need Git to clone this repository. NixOS provides a temporary shell to try commands without installing packages permanently:

nix-shell -p git

Then clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/EpiSDK/EpiNix.git

2. After cloning, edit the configuration for your user and make sure it matches your system.

• Follow the comments to update the username and related paths.
• Add or remove packages as needed.

3. When you are ready, copy the configuration files to the NixOS location:

cp config.nix /etc/nixos
cp home.nix /etc/nixos
cp flake.nix /etc/nixos

4. Final step: rebuild and switch to the new configuration:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixos

All applications are installed and ready to use.

Use Hyprland?

This configuration enables GNOME as the desktop environment, but NixOS can also enable Hyprland if you want a more customized setup.

For an example Hyprland configuration, see: https://github.com/Tadomika-Ari/My-NixOs-Configuration#
