# Nix (WIP - don't follow)
The *Nix package manager* is a package manager which allows for user independent packages and a whole lot more (although it's not necessarily minimal). To set it up install it's package and activate it's service:
## Setup
```
# apk add nix
# rc-update add nix-daemon default
# rc-service nix-daemon start
```
> (The `nix` package is only available in the `edge` and `apk-ample` repositories)
And add this line to `/etc/nix/nix.conf` to globally enable some features which will be necessary later:
```
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
```
Don't forget to add your user to the nix group:
```
adduser <username> nix
```
## Usage
> From here on things have to be done per user.
Now that Nix is up and running utilize the `flake` that comes with the config files to set up our home for us:
```
$ cd ~/.config/home-manager
$ nix run . switch
```
Now you are able to install packages as a user without root from `nixpkgs`:
```
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.<package>
```
> You can also test a package before installing it with `nix-shell -p <program>`
