Switch to root user:
sudo su - -
Do your partitions and mount your root to
/mnt(for example). -
Install these dotfiles:
nix-shell -p git nixFlakes # Set HOST to the desired hostname of this system HOST=... # Set USER to your desired username (defaults to hlissner) USER=... git clone https://github.com/lenivaya/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles cd /etc/dotfiles # Create a host config in `hosts/` and add it to the repo: mkdir -p hosts/$HOST nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --dir /etc/dotfiles/hosts/$HOST rm -f hosts/$HOST/configuration.nix cp hosts/t440p/default.nix hosts/$HOST/default.nix vim hosts/$HOST/default.nix # configure this for your system; don't use it verbatim! git add hosts/$HOST # Install nixOS USER=$USER nixos-install --root /mnt --impure --flake .#$HOST # If you get 'unrecognized option: --impure', replace '--impure' with # `--option pure-eval no`. # Then move the dotfiles to the mounted drive! mv /etc/dotfiles /mnt/etc/dotfiles
