Well, nix would be an entire operating system. This is just for a build system to specify the versions of the tools to use.
The nixos.org website does a bad job at explaining things, but nix
!= NixOS. nix
is a declarative package manager and build system. NixOS is a distribution built on top of it. With nix-shell
, you can take a package declaration and enter a shell with build dependencies available therein.
