Even though [https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs Nixpkgs] is currently the '''standard''' package set for Nix and NixOS, it can be replaced by another with different conventions and/or functionality. An alternative package set may build upon certain aspects of Nixpkgs, but more often than not it serves a distinct purpose.

You can include these modules after extracting them onto the system by using <code>imports = [ `path to module`]</code> or add them to your <code>NIX_PATH</code> via <code>NIX_PATH=$NIX_PATH:musnix=/path/to/musnix</code> and import them by including <code>imports = [ <musnix> ]</code> in your <code>configuration.nix</code>.
