## Install Home Manager with niv
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/release-23.05#releases
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> To avoid breaking users' configurations, Home Manager is released in branches corresponding to NixOS releases (e.g. `release-23.05`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Home Manager provides both the channel-based setup and the flake-based one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check your channel:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
sudo nix-channel --list
|
|
|
|
|
#=> nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.05
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the corresponding branch:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
niv add nix-community/home-manager -n home-manager -b release-23.05
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
