Update NIX.md so it has more methods + is clearer
- Add proper headings - Change flake codeblocks so that configuration stuff isn't in the same place as flake.nix stuff - Add instructions for not using the overlay with flakes - Add instructions for running ad-hoc with flakes Signed-off-by: Skyler Grey <skyler3665@gmail.com>

# How to import
|
||||
# Running on Nix
|
||||
|
||||
To import with flakes use
|
||||
## Putting it in your system configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### On flakes-enabled nix
|
||||
|
||||
#### Directly installing
|
||||
|
||||
The `prismlauncher` flake provides a package which you can install along with
|
||||
the rest of your packages
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# In your flake.nix:
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
prismlauncher.url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.prismlauncher.overlay ]; ## Within configuration.nix
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ prismlauncher ]; ##
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To import without flakes use channels:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# And in your system configuration:
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = [ prismlauncher.packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher ];
|
||||
|
||||
# Or in your home-manager configuration:
|
||||
home.packages = [ prismlauncher.packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher ];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using the overlay
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can overlay the prismlauncher version in nixpkgs which will
|
||||
allow you to install using `pkgs` as you normally would while also using the
|
||||
latest version
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# In your flake.nix:
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
prismlauncher.url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# And in your system configuration:
|
||||
nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.prismlauncher.overlay ];
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.prismlauncher ];
|
||||
|
||||
# Or in your home-manager configuration:
|
||||
config.nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.prismlauncher.overlay ];
|
||||
home.packages = [ pkgs.prismlauncher ];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Without flakes-enabled nix

#### Using channels

|
||||
nix-channel --add https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/master.tar.gz prismlauncher

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Running ad-hoc
|
||||
|
||||
If you're on a flakes-enabled nix you can run the launcher in one-line
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
nix run github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher
|
||||
```
