Description: Purely functional package manager (binaries)
A powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that
makes package management reliable and reproducible. Nix provides
atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple
versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup
of build environments.
.
NOTE: This package only provides the nix binaries. One still needs
to setup directories, environments variables and configuration files
to use nix as described in the nix manual.
The package nix-setup-systemd provides such a setup using systemd
mechanisms, also see /usr/share/doc/nix-bin/README.Debian.
