== Allowing unfree software == | |||
By default, nix will refuse to evaluate any [[Derivations|derivation]] containing unfree software, prompting the user to read the manual for more details. This behaviour can be configured in different ways depending on the context of the derivation. | |||
=== Unfree software in Flakes === | |||
For allowing unfree software in a flake-based config, see: [[Flakes#Enable_unfree_software]]. | |||
=== Unfree software using Home Manager === | |||
Depending on your [[Home Manager]] installation, there are multiple ways to allow unfree software. | |||
==== Standalone Home Manager ==== | |||
If your Home Manager configuration isn't integrated into your [[NixOS]] configuration (i.e. you switch generations using <code>home-manager switch</code> and not by rebuilding the whole system), then you may allow unfree software by setting the nixpkgs option in your config: | |||
{{File|3=<nowiki>{ ... }: | |||
{ | |||
... | |||
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; | |||
}</nowiki>|name=home.nix|lang=nix}} | |||
