I want to install fooFlorp2!

check nixpackages:

"
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.fooFlorp2 ];

or nix-shell -p fooFlorp2 "

edit configuration.nix, add pkgs.fooFlorp2

install happens, won’t work, no mention about the binary

Web search

ohh you don’t install it with pkgs, there’s a systemd that has to be enabled, and some config wrapped around it.

But the documentation said…

The documentation doesn’t lie, but it often doesn’t give you the whole answer either.

I love nix, but installing anything interesting ends up with a lot of websearches.

On the upside, my home/work and travel pc’s are all just lockstep. anything I install on one just ends up on the others, and that’s something cool.
