Unlike <code>src</code>, this is not an attribute but rather an environment variable which points to the finalized location of the derivation's contents. Anything placed within <code>$out</code> will then be part of the final derivation. Usually this follows an FHS-inspired like structure, where <code>$out/bin</code> contains binaries, <code>$out/lib</code> contains shared objects, <code>$out/include</code> contains headers, and so forth. These paths will become part of the derivation and are the resulting entries within the <code>/nix/store</code>.

This step is handled largely by the <code>installPhase</code>, which you'll understand more in Phases, and is described within the derivation as a series of bash commands to execute:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

This step is handled largely by the <code>installPhase</code>, which you'll understand more in [[Derivations#Phases|Phases]], and is described within the derivation as a series of bash commands to execute:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
