NixOS: Difference between revisions

For a full installation guide using the ISOs - including steps for installing with USB stick and on UEFI systems - see the [https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#ch-installation installation chapter of the manual].

In addition to graphical and minimal 64bit and 32bit ISOs, the [https://nixos.org/nixos/download.html NixOS download page] provides a variety of formats for installing NixOS. These include virtual appliances in OVA format (compatible with Virtual Box), Amazon EC2 AMIs and Microsoft Azure BLOBs. Additionally, one can convert a variety of existing Linux installations into NixOS using [https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect nixos-infect] and [https://github.com/jeaye/nixos-in-place nixos-in-place]; this is particularly useful for installing NixOS on hosting providers such as Digital Ocean, which have no NixOS images available out-of-the-box. For instructions on installing NixOS on various ARM boards, see [[NixOS on ARM]].
