# To use the overlay

## with Flakes

If you are using [flakes] to configure your system, you can either reference the

package provided by this flake directly, e.g. for nixos:

```nix

{ inputs, pkgs, ... }:

{

  programs.neovim = {

    enable = true;

    package = inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.packages.${pkgs.system}.default;

  };

  # or

  environment.systemPackages = [

    inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.packages.${pkgs.system}.default

  ];

}

```

or you can apply the overlay to your package set, e.g for home-manager:

```nix

{

  inputs = {

    ...

    neovim-nightly-overlay.url = "github:nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay";

  };

  outputs = { self, ... }@inputs:

    let

      overlays = [

        inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.overlays.default

      ];

    in

      homeConfigurations = {

        macbook-pro = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {

          modules = [

            {

              nixpkgs.overlays = overlays;

            };

          ];

        };

      };

}

```

## without Flakes

Add the overlay to your home.nix (home-manager) or configuration.nix (nixos):

```nix

{

  nixpkgs.overlays = [

    (import (builtins.fetchTarball {

      url = "https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz";

    }))

  ];

}

```

Due to some nixpkgs breaking changes if you are using NixOS 24.05 use the overlay below 


*also requires that you have the nixpkgs-unstable `nix-channel`*

```nix

{

  nixpkgs.config = {

    packageOverrides = pkgs: let

      pkgs' = import  {

        inherit (pkgs) system;

        overlays = [

          (import (builtins.fetchTarball {

            url = "https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz";

          }))

        ];

      };

    in {

      inherit (pkgs') neovim;

    };

  };

}

```
