You can grab the last stable tarball (nix 1.7 during this
writing) or the package for your distro here: <link
xlink:href="https://hydra.nixos.org/release/nix/nix-1.7">https://hydra.nixos.org/release/nix/nix-1.7</link>.
You can grab the nix installation script (nix 1.11.5 during this
writing) here: <link

At the time you are reading, there may be nix 1.8. You can see a
list of releases here: <link

I prefer using the precompiled binaries, because it's a nice
self-contained environment, just works and it's a little less
invasive (in that it does not install anything under
<literal>/etc</literal> or <literal>/usr</literal>). So in this
series I will use the nix bootstrap distribution.

In the download page above you can find binaries for linux i686,
x86_64 and darwin.

<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> if you are using a rolling
distribution however, I suggest not to install the package (for
example on Debian sid) because you will experience broken perl
dependencies when running nix tools.
One way to install is simply to run <command>curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh</command> as a non-root user. You may prefer
to download the installation script and verify its integrity
using GPG signatures, instructions for doing that can be found
here: <link
