# Setup
There are a few ways to get up and running. You can fork this repo or use it as
a template. There is a [bare branch][bare] if you want to start with a
completely empty template and make your own profiles from scratch. The only
hard requirement is nix itself. The `shell.nix` will pull in everything else.

profiles, modules, overlays, etc, already configured for you to use. Please
consider adding your own expressions there if you feel they would be helpful
for others.
The only hard requirement is nix itself. The `shell.nix` will pull in
everything else.
## Flake Templates
If you already have [nix-command][nix-command] setup you can:
```sh
# for standard template
# for the core template with no profiles
nix flake new -t "github:nrdxp/nixflk" flk
# for bare template
nix flake new -t "github:nrdxp/nixflk/bare" flk
# for the community template
nix flake new -t "github:nrdxp/nixflk/community" flk
```
## Nix Only
Once you have this repo, you'll want to __move or symlink__ it to `/etc/nixos`
for ease of use. Once inside:
```sh
# probably want to use a separate branch for you config
git checkout -b my-branch
# This will setup nix-command and pull in the needed tools
nix-shell # or `direnv allow` if you prefer

## Hardware Specific Profile for a Single Host
Find out the fitting [nixos-hardware profile](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware#list-of-profiles) for the hardware of your host, then find the corresponding modules in the [flake](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/flake.nix) and add it to the configuration.
