Because flake evalutations are hermetic, they will ignore the system configuration on nonfree software and the <code>NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE</code> environment variable by default. | |||
To use nonfree software with CLI tools like <code>nix shell</code> or <code>nix run</code>, the <code>--impure</code> flag must be used for Nixpkgs to access the current environment variables: | |||
<syntaxHighlight lang=console> | |||
$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix run --impure nixpkgs#discord | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
To use nonfree software in a flake, add <code>nixpkgs</code> as an input in your flake and import it with the <code>allowUnfree</code> option: | |||
<syntaxHighlight> | |||
pkgs = import nixpkgs { config = { allowUnfree = true; }; } | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
