Nix, the purely functional package manager
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its
|
|
purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't
|
|
appear with Nix.
|
|
|
|
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please
|
|
read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at
|
|
<https://nixos.org/nix/manual>.
