# Nix installation on Windows Subsystem for Linux
## Install `Alpine` or `Debian`
- NixOS-WSL
- This is the recommended way to have NixOS on Windows. Installation
instruction can be found on their [GitHub page](https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL)
- Alpine - deprecated
1. Download latest zip from https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL.
1. Extract `Alpine.zip` into `D:\backup\Alpine`
1. On a PowerShell,
`wsl --import alpine .\WSL\alpine\ .\backup\Alpine\rootfs.tar.gz --version 2`
- Debian
- Update `apt` and install `xz-utils`, `systemd-timesyncd`, `zsh`, `curl`.
- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) time keeping problems
[8204](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8204) and
[5324](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5324) can be solved with
[this answer on `stackoverflow`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65086856/wsl2-clock-is-out-of-sync-with-windows).
> Windows: Open PowerShell as Administrator
```shell
schtasks /create /tn WSLClockSync /tr "wsl.exe sudo hwclock -s" /sc onevent /ec system /mo "*[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-General'] and (EventID=1)]]"
Set-ScheduledTask WSLClockSync -Settings (New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -AllowStartIfOnBatteries)
```
> WSL2: Run `sudo visudo` and add `hwclock` to `sudoers` to skip password prompt
```bash
# bottom of my file looks like this
...
...
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/hwclock
```
and
`sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd` then
> `sudo systemctl edit systemd-timesyncd` with the following contents:
>
> ```
> [Unit]
> ConditionVirtualization=
> ConditionVirtualization=wsl
> ```
## Install `NixOS`
- Install `xz-utils` and `curl`
- Install NixOS using
[official WSL guide for multi-user](https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-windows).
## Clone `.conf`
### Generate ssh key
Generate ssh key pair by running
```shell
nix-shell -p openssh --run 'ssh-keygen -t ed25519'
```
Then add the new public key in the GitHub profile.
### Cloning
- `nix-shell -p openssh git --run 'git clone [email protected]:kumkee/.config.git'`
- `nix-shell -p git openssh --run 'git submodule update --init --recursive'`
## Install `home-manager`
- Backup ssh public and private keys somewhere different from `.ssh/` as this
location will be overwritten by `home-manager`.
- Install
[home-manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html#ch-installation)
- Have a look at this
[blog post](https://cbailey.co.uk/posts/a_minimal_nix_development_environment_on_wsl).
- Add the public key in `authorized_keys` of the `ssh` submodule and run
`home-manager switch` to update the configuration.
