hemanth-92 / hyprnix Goto Github PK

The process is:

• partition your disks
• mount partitions onto /mnt
• nixos-install

Run this command to ensure Git & Vim are installed:

nix-shell -p git vim

Now enter the following commands to get my repo:

git clone https://github.com/hemanth-92/hyprnix
cd hyprnix

By default, my repo comes with my system hardware. That one will not work for your system. That's why you have to generate your own. To do that, enter the following command:

nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config  > hardware.nix

Now go into the options.nix and set your preferences. You can use nano for that. In there you can make changes to the options to have it just the way you want. To go into it, enter this command:

nano options.nix

By default, this comes with my password as the user password. Because you don't know my password, you need to change it. To do that, enter the following commands:

mkpasswd -m sha-512 <YOUR-PASSWORD>

Example:

  mkpasswd -m sha-512 password
$6$YdPBODxytqUWXCYL$AHW1U9C6Qqkf6PZJI54jxFcPVm2sm/XWq3Z1qa94PFYz0FF.za9gl5WZL/z/g4nFLQ94SSEzMg5GMzMjJ6Vd7.

Now copy the output and open up the system.nix file in nano. Search for the "hashedPassword" line and replace the original string with the output you copied.

When you're done with all of your changes, you are ready to install the system. To do that, enter the following commands into your terminal:

NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes"
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<The-Hostname-You-Set-In-The-Options-File>  --install-bootloader
(--install-bootloader is to load the boot)
