First steps with Nix
If you want to manage your system using Nix, see home-manager Tutorial Series (if you are on macOS or non-NixOS Linux) or NixOS Tutorial Series (if you are on NixOS).
[!tip] Pinning nixpkgs To avoid the aforementioned automatic update, you can manually pin the registry entry for nixpkgs. In home-manager, we will see an automatic and declarative way of doing this (through flake inputs).
[!warning] Declarative package management This section explains how to install a package imperatively. For a better way of installing packages (declaratively), see home-manager.
