~~Firstly, you should~~ install Steam ~~itself~~:

To install the Steam package and enable all the system options necessary to allow it to run:

{{file|/etc/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>

{

programs.steam = {

~~environment.systemPackages~~ = ~~with pkgs~~; [

enable = true;

# ...

remotePlay.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Remote Play

~~steam~~

dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Source Dedicated Server

# ~~...~~

};

];

}

</nowiki>}}

{{warning|The above step is insufficient, just adding <code>steam</code> to your package list is not going to work, since it won't enable all necessary system options. Please enable steam as shown below.}}

~~The following options should be enabled to allow steam to run.~~

~~<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">~~

~~programs.steam = {~~

~~enable = true;~~

~~remotePlay.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Remote Play~~

~~dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Source Dedicated Server~~

};

~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

{{note|Enabling steam installs several unfree packages. If you are using <code>allowUnfreePredicate</code> you will need to ensure that your configurations permit all of them.
