Nix on WSL Debian/Ubuntu

Install these if not already available:

sudo apt install curl xz-utils

OR using build-essential (includes gcc, xz-utils, etc.)

sudo apt install curl build-essential

Steps

sudo mkdir /nix
sudo chown username /nix # replace `username` with your own

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon

nix-env -i hello # install to test
nix-env --uninstall hello # remove test
# see https://search.nixos.org/packages
nix-env -qa > nix-packages.list

# see https://nixos.org/nix/manual
nix-env -i neovim # example install

# optimise store
nix-store --optimise -v

Auto-optimise store when writing new files to it:

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix

echo "auto-optimise-store = true" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

Aliases

Faster to type:

alias nxi='nix-env -i'  # install
alias nxu='nix-env -u'  # update
alias nxr='nix-env -e'  # remove
alias nxls='nix-env -q' # list
alias nxgc='nix-collect-garbage -d'
