### Arch Linux
You can install using `pacman` as follows:
```bash
❯ pacman -S openapi-tui
```
### NixOS
You can install the `openapi-tui` package directly with the following command:
```bash
nix profile install github:zaghaghi/openapi-tui
```
You can also install `openapi-tui` by adding it to your `configuration.nix` file.
```nix
# flake.nix
{
inputs.openapi-tui.url = "github:zaghaghi/openapi-tui";
# ...
outputs = {nixpkgs, ...} @ inputs: {
nixosConfigurations. = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; # this is the important part
modules = [
./configuration.nix
];
};
}
}
```
Then, add `openapi-tui` to your `configuration.nix`
```nix
# configuration.nix
{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
inputs.openapi-tui.packages.${pkgs.system}.openapi-tui
];
}
```
