Description

Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell -- they are built by functions that don't have side-effects, and they never change after they have been built. Nix stores packages in the Nix store, usually the directory /nix/store, where each package has its own unique subdirectory such as

/nix/store/b6gvzjyb2pg0kjfwrjmg1vfhh54ad73z-firefox-33.1/

where b6gvzjyb2pg0... is a unique identifier for the package that captures all its dependencies (it's a cryptographic hash of the package's build dependency graph). This enables many powerful features.

Install

Binary package:

pkg install nix

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/nix/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	nix>0:sysutils/nix
LIB_DEPENDS=	libnixcmd.so:sysutils/nix

Packages

The version each package repository carries. “-” means the repository builds no package of it, “n/a” that there is no such repository.

Message after installing

Experimental support
--------------------

Nix support is very much experimental on FreeBSD. The sysutils/nix port is
mainly aimed at developers, testers, and curious users. Nix should not be
considered stable yet on FreeBSD.

Creating Nix build users
------------------------

Nix build users may be created by executing the "add-nixbld-users" script
(which is located in "/usr/local/share/nix") and specifying
the desired number of build users as an argument.

For example:

/usr/local/share/nix/add-nixbld-users 4

is going to create 4 nixbld users.

See https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-multi-user for more details about
build users.
