Add source command to make nix available
Line 9: Line 9:
$ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
$ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Then don't forget to run the command provided at the end of the installation script to make nix available in your system:
<syntaxHighlight lang="console">
source $HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
</syntaxHighlight>
You may want to put this file directly in your ~/.bashrc or similar, so Nix would be available in any newly created shell.


After that being done, you can use all Nix commands as a normal user without any special permissions (for example by using <code>sudo</code>).
