# Installation

## Quick start

1. Acquire NixOS 21.11 or newer:

   ```sh

   # Yoink nixos-unstable

   wget -O nixos.iso https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-unstable/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso

   

   # Write it to a flash drive

   cp nixos.iso /dev/sdX

   ```

2. Boot into the installer.

3. Switch to root user: `sudo su -`

4. Do your partitions and mount your root to `/mnt` ([for

   example](hosts/kuro/README.org)).

5. Install these dotfiles:

   ```sh

   nix-shell -p git nixFlakes

   # Set HOST to the desired hostname of this system

   HOST=...

   # Set USER to your desired username (defaults to hlissner)

   USER=...

   git clone https://github.com/p2d0/nix-dotfiles /etc/nixos

   cd /etc/nixos

   

   # Create a host config in `hosts/` and add it to the repo:

   mkdir -p hosts/$HOST

   nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --dir /etc/nixos/hosts/$HOST

   rm -f hosts/$HOST/configuration.nix

   cp hosts/main/configuration.nix hosts/$HOST/configuration.nix

   vim hosts/$HOST/configuration.nix  # configure this for your system; don't use it verbatim!

   git add hosts/$HOST

   

   # Install nixOS

   USER=$USER nixos-install --root /mnt --impure --flake .#$HOST

   

   # If you get 'unrecognized option: --impure', replace '--impure' with 

   # `--option pure-eval no`.

   # Then move the dotfiles to the mounted drive!

   mv /etc/nixos /mnt/etc/nixos

   ```
