Nix Flakes

Home Manager is compatible with Nix Flakes. But please be aware that this support 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 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 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 for a description of this setup.
