Install nix:

$ sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon
$ . /home/jtremesay/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh

Add home-manager channel:

$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update

Get the configuration:

$ mkdir -p .config/nixpkgs
$ git clone [email protected]:killruana/dotnixpkgs.git .config/nixpkgs
# OR
$ git clone https://github.com/killruana/dotnixpkgs.git .config/nixpkgs

First apply of the config:

$ NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels:/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels${NIX_PATH:+:$NIX_PATH}  nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

You can now relogin. Next updates of the configuration can be applied with

$ home-manager switch
