* My macOS config This repo contains a declarative specification of the setup of my mac, using [[https://nixos.org/][Nix]], with [[https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin][nix-darwin]] and [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][Nix Flakes]]. The initial setup is mimicked after [[https://github.com/shaunsingh/nix-darwin-dotfiles][shaunsingh's setup]]. [[https://brew.sh/][Homebrew]] is installed for its cask support (i.e. mac apps lacking a Nix derivation). * Steps to install 1. [[https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos][Install Nix for macOS]] #+begin_src sh sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) #+end_src 2. [[https://brew.sh/][Install Homebrew]] #+begin_src sh /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" #+end_src 3. Clone this repo (assuming there is no =~/.config= on the system already) #+begin_src sh git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/larstvei/dotfiles.git ~/.config #+end_src Note that the =--recurse-submodules= pulls down my [[https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs/][Emacs configuration]], which is not necessary for the setup to work. 4. Build the setup from =flake.nix= #+begin_src sh cd ~/.config/ nix build .#darwinConfigurations.larstvei-macbookpro.system --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes ./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#larstvei-macbookpro #+end_src * Maintaining After making changes, I run the following command (from the =~/.config= directory): #+begin_src sh darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#larstvei-macbookpro #+end_src
