Experimental features are now opt-in. There are currently two experimental features: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix" command), and "flakes" (which enables support for flakes). This will allow us to merge experimental features more quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely. Typical usage: $ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello |

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 http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
