<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A lot of confusion for newcomers arises from the fact that configuration is stored in the read-only <code>/nix/store</code> tree along with all the installed packages. This fact makes it impossible to manually edit system configuration; all configuration changes must be performed by editing the <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code> file and executing <code>nixos-rebuild switch</code>. NixOS provides the [[Special:MyLanguage/NixOS_modules|module system]] for editing all required configurations. Users should first use [https://search.nixos.org/options the option search tool] to check if the option they need exists before attempting to manually add files or configuration via low-level NixOS features like activation scripts.</div>FuzzyBot
