# Nix Flakes {#ch-nix-flakes}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Home Manager is compatible with [Nix
|
||
|
|
Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes). But please be aware that the
|
||
|
|
support it is still experimental and may change in backwards
|
||
|
|
incompatible ways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just like in the standard installation you can use the Home Manager
|
||
|
|
flake in three ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than
|
||
|
|
NixOS and Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also
|
||
|
|
recommended for people on NixOS or Darwin that want to manage their
|
||
|
|
home directory independently of the system as a whole. See
|
||
|
|
[Standalone setup](#sec-flakes-standalone) for instructions on how
|
||
|
|
to perform this installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the
|
||
|
|
user profiles to be built together with the system when running
|
||
|
|
`nixos-rebuild`. See [NixOS module](#sec-flakes-nixos-module) for a
|
||
|
|
description of this setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. This allows the user profiles to be built together with the system
|
||
|
|
when running `darwin-rebuild`. See [nix-darwin
|
||
|
|
module](#sec-flakes-nix-darwin-module) for a description of this
|
||
|
|
setup.
