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>.

Take a look at the [Hacking Section](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-hacking)
|
|
of the manual. It helps you to get started with building Nix from source.
