Installing Home Manager

Home Manager can be used in three primary 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 installation 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. As a module within a nix-darwin system configuration. 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.

:::{.note} In this chapter we describe how to install Home Manager in the standard way using channels. If you prefer to use Nix Flakes then please see the instructions in nix flakes. :::
