Initializing a Configuration

1. In the last command below, replace REPLACE_ME with the name of the config to apply. Valid config names are: comp_1 comp_2. Then run the commands which will install Nix and initialize the config.

   NOTE: The Lix installer may have changed since this was written so make sure the installation command below is still valid.

     sh -c "$(curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix)" -- \
       install \
       --nix-package-url "https://releases.lix.systems/lix/lix-2.93.3/lix-2.93.3-$(uname -m)-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]').tar.xz" \
       --extra-conf "extra-trusted-users = $(whoami)" \
       --no-confirm &&
     "$SHELL" -lc 'nix run github:bigolu/system-configurations -- REPLACE_ME'

2. Post-Install steps:

   • Linux

     1. Logout and login so the login shell configuration can get applied.

   • macOS

     1. Keyboard:

        • Set the keyboard input source to 'Others → (No Accent Keys)'.
        • Shortcuts:

          • Disable: "Select the previous input source" ctrl+space, "Application windows" ctrl+↓

          • Change: "Mission Control → Move left/right a space" to cmd+[ and cmd+] respectively, "Mission Control" to cmd+d, "Mission Control → Switch to Desktop 1-9" cmd+[1-9]

     2. Open Hammerspoon and Nightfall to configure them.

Running the Portable Configuration

You can also run a shell with a Home Manager configuration loaded into it. This is helpful when you only need to use the configuration temporarily and not apply it, like when you're on a remote host or in a container. You can download it from the releases page.
