NixOS Installation

1 min read

This all works (theoretically), it is preferred to install through the gnome graphical installer https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation

  1. https://nixos.org/download/ download the minimal ISO and boot into it
  2. sudo -i
  3. lsblk to view drives
  4. fdisk /dev/sda if sda is the drive you want to install on
  5. g
  6. new partition n with size of +550M
  7. new partition n with all the remaining disk size
  8. w
  9. mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
  10. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
  11. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
  12. mkdir -p /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
  13. cd /mnt
  14. nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
  15. vim /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix and if you want to use grub as the default bootloader, set boot.loader.grub.device to /dev/sda and boot.loader.grub.efiSupport to true.
  16. nixos-install
  17. reboot
  18. After reboot, ln -s /etc/nixos /home/yoshixi/nixos
