# Nix-Get 📦
`nix-get` is a simple script to manage NixOS packages, similar to the `apt-get` CLI tool. This script allows you to install packages either for the current user or system-wide.
## Features ✨
- 📥 Install packages for the current user
- 🌐 Install packages system-wide
- 🛠 Automatically detects the current user
- 🔍 Checks for duplicate packages before adding
## Usage 🚀
1. **Download and make the script executable:**
```bash
chmod +x nix-get.sh
```
2. **Install a package for the current user:**
```bash
sudo ./nix-get.sh install
```
3. **Install a package system-wide:**
```bash
sudo ./nix-get.sh --system install
```
Replace `` with the name of the package you want to install.
## Example 🔧
To install `htop` for the current user:
```bash
sudo ./nix-get.sh install htop
```
To install `htop` system-wide:
```bash
sudo ./nix-get.sh --system install htop
```
## Script Explanation 📝
1. **Root Check:** Ensures the script is run with sudo.
2. **Argument Check:** Validates that the required arguments are provided.
3. **Argument Parsing:** Checks for the `--system` flag.
4. **Action Validation:** Ensures the action is `install`.
5. **Configuration File Check:** Verifies the existence of `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
6. **System-Wide Installation:**
- Checks if the package is already in the system-wide list.
- Appends the package if not present.
- Rebuilds the NixOS configuration.
7. **User-Specific Installation:**
- Detects the current user.
- Checks if the package is already in the user's list.
- Appends the package if not present.
- Rebuilds the NixOS configuration.
8. **Output Message:** Provides feedback on the success or failure of the operation.
