Prerequisites (non-NixOS)

• Install nix
  • OS X
  • WSL
    • See additional pre-installition steps below
• Install home-manager
• Install packer
• Install Iosevka (patched)

Additional pre-installation steps for WSL:

1. Run update as root to allow nixos-rebuild to work:

   sudo nix-channel --update

2. Update configuration in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

   wsl.defaultUser = "jsonnull";
   
   nix.extraOptions = ''
     experimental-features = nix-command flakes
   '';

Install

1. Clone the repo to ~/configuration:

   git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:jsonnull/configuration.git ~/configuration

2. Depending on which system is being managed, install the configuration.

   NixOS:

   sudo mv /etc/nixos /etc/nixos.bak
   sudo ln -s /home/json/configuration/ /etc/nixos
   sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure # Impure required for private configs for now

   WSL:

   nix run --impure ~/configuration/#homeConfigurations.wsl.activationPackage
   
   # Afterwards, update /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
   # users.defaultUserShell = "/home/jsonnull/.nix-profile/bin/zsh";

   MacBook:

   nix run --impure ~/configuration/#homeConfigurations.macbook.activationPackage

3. Install neovim plugins:

   vim +PackerSync

4. When making updates to configs, switch to the new system.

   WSL:

   home-manager switch --impure --flake ~/configuration#wsl

   MacBook:

   home-manager switch --impure --flake ~/configuration#macbook
