Overview ======== Nix is a package manager, deployment system, and component glue mechanism. Prerequisites ============= * Berkeley DB 4.0.14 * CWI ATerm 2.0 Installation ============ * When building from the Subversion repository, first do: autoreconf -i * To build, do: ./configure make make install Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix. You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you want to use prebuilt packages from other sources. Usage ===== TODO
