Nix Static Setup Script

This repository contains a bash script to automate the setup of a static version of Nix on your system. The script downloads the latest static version of Nix, configures it, and provides commands to build and run programs.

Prerequisites

• A Unix-like operating system (Linux, macOS, etc.)
• curl installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of using the terminal

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/nix-static-setup.git
   cd nix-static-setup

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x setup_nix.sh

3. Run the script:

   ./setup_nix.sh

   This will download the latest static version of Nix, configure it, and set up the necessary environment.

Configuration

The script will create a configuration file at ~/.config/nix/nix.conf with the following content:

store = ~/mynixroot
extra-experimental-features = flakes nix-command
ssl-cert-file = /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem

• store: Specifies the root directory for Nix.
• extra-experimental-features: Enables experimental features like flakes and the Nix command.
• ssl-cert-file: Path to the SSL certificate file. Adjust this path if necessary.

Running Nix Programs

After running the script, you can use the following commands to run Nix programs:

• To run a program (e.g., hello):

  ~/nixstatic run nixpkgs#hello

• To enter a Nix shell:

  ~/nixstatic shell nixpkgs#nix nixpkgs#bashInteractive --command bash

  You can then use commands like nix profile install. Note that you cannot recursively enter another Nix shell.
