The previous method should be rather easily adaptable: replace adding NixOS options by editing <code>/etc/nix/nix.conf</code>.

To know what features a derivation needs, you can run {{Commands|$ nix show-derivation /nix/store/hash-foo.drv | grep requiredSystemFeatures}}

* How do I know if I'm distributing my build at all?

** Run <code>nix build</code> with <code>--max-jobs 0</code>.

* How do I know why my builds aren't being distributed?

** Run <code>nix build -vvvvvvvvv 2>&1 | less</code> and search for <code>decline</code>.

* I can <code>nix ping-store</code> but the build doesn't distribute.

** If on NixOS, Check that <code>nix ping-store</code> command works when run as root.

* I can ping the store as root, but I'm getting "broken pipe" errors when trying to distribute.

** You may have hit bug {{Issue|46038}}. Add <code>nix.distributedBuilds = true;</code> to <code>configuration.nix</code> and <code>nixos-rebuild switch</code>.
