Software bundles built (and potentially distributed) using the [Nix package manager](/concepts/nix)

Nix packages are self-contained bundles that are built using derivations and provide some kind of software or dependencies of software on your computer. A package can have dependencies on other packages, which are encoded in its closure. Each package lives at a unique path in the Nix store indexed by its name and its input hash.
