 @faust403:matrix.org | Oh, sorry, I'm new in nix | 17:49:10 |
 @qbit:tapenet.org | i would avoid using nix-env | 17:49:25 |
| @faust403:matrix.org | Then it's enough to have <drv>/bin dir to see it in path ? | 17:49:42 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | you need to either add it to nixpkgs or your configuration if you want it to be persistent | 17:50:05 |

i would avoid using nix-env And me using it's everywhere, heh | 17:50:07 |

You just tried to install every package with a dot in its name How can I install it from local source otherwise? | 17:55:08 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | that's not really how things are done in nixos :P | 17:55:36 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | you can do a shell.nix file and build / run it locally from source.. | 17:56:13 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | but TheWay is to upstream it or add it to your configuration.nix | 17:56:35 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | as stated like 30 times before :P | 17:56:42 |
| @faust403:matrix.org | Oh, sorry for that. Okay, I think I got it | 17:57:15 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | typically the shell.nix stuff is used for development - like you are going to be making changes to the software.. and need to install all the deps and what not | 17:58:05 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | it's not used for "installing software into the system" | 17:58:19 |
