# nxo

`nxo` is a command line utility to bootstrap simple configuration for [nix](http://nixos.org). It provides syntactic sugar and sane defaults to get you up and running with nix as quickly as possible.

### Installation

Before installing `nxo` you'll need;

* [`nix`](https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos) 

* [`direnv`](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html)

The easiest way to install is to download the binary:

```bash

curl -L https://github.com/almonk/nxo/releases/download/v0.0.4/nxo_darwin_arm64 --output /tmp/nxo && chmod +x /tmp/nxo && sudo mv /tmp/nxo /usr/local/bin

```

Be sure to swap `nxo_darwin_arm64` for `nxo_darwin_amd64` if you are using an Intel Mac.

---

### Usage

Setup a project with ruby and go dependencies:

```

$ nxo install ruby go

```

Let's add sqlite to this project as well. Simply run `nxo install` again:

```

$ nxo i sqlite # `nxo i` is a shortcut for install

```

`nxo` will generate the `shell.nix` below;

```nix

{ pkgs ? import  {}

}:

pkgs.mkShell {

  buildInputs = [

    pkgs.ruby

    pkgs.go

    pkgs.sqlite

  ];

}

```

To wipe nix config:

```

$ nxo clean

```

or 

```

$ nxo c

```

---

### Uninstallation

```

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/nxo

```

---

### Build from source

To build `nxo` from source locally:

```

$ git clone [this repo]

$ make release

```
