Installing from scratch

1. Add necessary channels and update

sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/archive/master.tar.gz nixos-hardware
sudo nix-channel --update

2. Generate SSH key

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
ssh-add /home/luke/.ssh/id_ed25519
cat /home/luke/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Add it to Github

3. Install vim and git in a temp shell

nix-shell -p vim git

4. Clone repository

cd
mkdir Projects
cd Projects
git clone [email protected]:lleheny0/nixos-config.git

5. Relocate harware-configuration.nix

sudo mv /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /home/luke/Projects/nixos-config/

6. Create symlink to configuration.nix

sudo rm /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
sudo ln -s /home/luke/Projects/nixos-config/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

7. Import system

vim configuration.nix

Replace the line

# Import system here

with something like

./systems/desktop.nix

8. Rebuild

rm /home/luke/.mozilla -rf
sudo nixos-rebuild boot

(Home Manager will throw an error if the .mozilla folder already exists)
