3: Usage

Note: If you installed Nix from the official repositories, you must add the ~/.nix-profile/bin directory to your PATH manually.

Example working command:

sudo nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -p lavat

add to .profile:

# Add local bin directory and Nix profile bin directory to PATH
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.nix-profile/bin"

# Set NIX_PATH environment variable
NIX_PATH="$NIX_PATH:https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz"

Then, run:
source ~/.profile
