You'll want to do a bunch of googling on different setups since there are multiple ways to get your programs installed. I'll give a quick rundown here but this is more a question for Nix communities directly and not specific to NixOS-WSL.
For global system-wide packages that will exist for every user, every system, etc you can use environment.systemPackages
inside your etc/nixos/configuration.nix
file
example:
# System Packages
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
zsh
wget
htop
tmux
];
When you sudo nixos-rebuild switch
these will be included systemwide.
Another way is to simply enable a program that's in nixpkgs, ie: programs.zsh.enable = true
. This can be done in your general configuration, or more preferably within your home-manager
config so it applies to your specific user and not the entire system.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
Very new to Nix, love this repository but had a hard time figuring out how to just add packages to the global
configuration.nix
. I saw there was a space for a howto doc that wasn't created so I decided to add some examples.
