You can grab the last stable tarball (nix 1.7 during this
|

writing) or the package for your distro here: <link

You can grab the nix installation script (nix 1.11.5 during this

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
