Nix PillsVersion Preface
This is a ported version of the Nix
Pills, a series of blog posts written by Luca Bruno (aka Lethalman) and
orginally published in 2014 and 2015. It provides a tutorial
introduction into the Nix package manager and Nixpkgs package
collection, in the form of short chapters called 'pills'.
Since the Nix Pills are considered a classic introduction to
Nix, an effort to port them to the current format was led by
Graham Christensen (aka grahamc / gchristensen) and other
contributors in 2017.
For an up-to-date version, please visit . An EPUB version is also available.
