	~~== Configure OTR for pidgin ==~~		[https://pidgin.im/ Pidgin] is available in NixOS, as are many popular plugins such as pidgin-otr.
	~~If you want to use pidgin with the OTR plugin, you will find out, that installing the plugin with~~
	~~<code>nix-env -iA nixos.pidginotr</code>~~
	~~does not work. The plugin doesn't appear in the plugin list.~~
	~~To use it, you need to make a~~ [https://~~nixos~~.~~org/nixpkgs/manual~~/~~#sec-modify-via-packageOverrides packageOverride~~].
	~~There~~ are ~~two ways to do it~~.

	==~~= User local change =~~==		==Installing plugins==
	~~To make~~ a ~~change that only affects the current user, do this:~~		NixOS provides Pidgin plugins as packages such as <tt>pidginotr</tt>, but installing them via <tt>nix-env</tt> or <tt>environment.systemPackages</tt> will not work. The plugin packages must be configured as part of the <tt>pidgin-with-plugins</tt> package via a package override.

	~~1. Put this into~~ <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</code>:		===User-scope installation===
	<syntaxhighlight lang=nix>		To install Pidgin with desired plugins only for the current user:
	{
			# In <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</code>, add: <syntaxhighlight lang=nix>{
			...
	packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {		packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
	pidgin-with-plugins = pkgs.pidgin-with-plugins.override {		pidgin-with-plugins = pkgs.pidgin-with-plugins.override {
	plugins = [ pkgs.pidginotr ];};		## Add whatever plugins are desired (see nixos.org package listing).
			plugins = [ pkgs.pidginotr ];
			};
	};		};
	}		...
	</syntaxhighlight>		}</syntaxhighlight>
			# Install pidgin with <code>nix-env -iA nixos.pidgin-with-plugins</code>
	2. Install pidgin with <code>nix-env -iA nixos.pidgin-with-plugins</code>.

	=== System ~~wide change~~ ===		===System-scope installation===
	~~This solution fixes it~~ for all users.		To install Pidgin with desired plugins for all users on the system:

	1. ~~extend systemPackages with the~~ pidgin-with-plugins ~~software~~:		# Amend <tt>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</tt> to add <tt>pidgin-with-plugins</tt> to <tt>systemPackages</tt>: <syntaxhighlight lang=nix>{
	<syntaxhighlight lang=nix>		...
	environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [		environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
	pidgin-with-plugins		pidgin-with-plugins
	];		];
	</syntaxhighlight>		...
			}</syntaxhighlight>
	~~2. afterwards you need~~ to ~~override~~ the plugins ~~directive with pidginotr like this~~:		# Override <tt>pidgin-with-plugins</tt> to add the desired plugins: <syntaxhighlight lang=nix>{
	<syntaxhighlight lang=nix>		...
	nixpkgs.config = {		nixpkgs.config = {
	allowUnfree = true;		allowUnfree = true;
	packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {		packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
	pidgin-with-plugins = pkgs.pidgin-with-plugins.override {		pidgin-with-plugins = pkgs.pidgin-with-plugins.override {
	plugins = [ pidginotr ];		## Add whatever plugins are desired (see nixos.org package listing).
			plugins = [ pidginotr ];
			};
	};		};
	};		};
	};		...
	</syntaxhighlight>		}</syntaxhighlight>
			# Run <tt>nixos-rebuild switch</tt> as root to apply changes.
	<~~b>Note:</b> In order to affect your system by your nix-language-specific changes you have to evaluate it, run (as root):~~
	~~<code~~>nixos-rebuild switch</~~code~~>
