## 🌼 INSTALLATION (NixOS)
> Request:
> [NixOs](https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-24.05/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso)

wget -O https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-24.05/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso
```
- Boot Into the Installer.
- Switch to Root: `sudo -i`
- Partitions:
_I prefer to use 1GB on the EFI partition. Specifically because the
'generations' list may become very long, and to avoid overloading the
partition._
```bash
# Replace nvme with your disk partition
gdisk /dev/nvme0n1
```
- `o` (create new partition table)
- `n` (add partition, 512M, type ef00 EFI)
- `n` (add partition, remaining space, type 8300 Linux)
`w` (write partition table and exit)
- Format Partitions:
```bash
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n EFI /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.xfs -L NIXOS /dev/nvme0n1p2
```
- Mount Partitions:
```bash
mount /dev/disk/by-label/NIXOS /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI /mnt/boot
```
- Enable nixFlakes
```bash
nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable git
```
- Clone my Dotfiles
```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/linuxmobile/kaku /mnt/etc/nixos
```
