+ Binary Nix tarballs available
+ </title>
+ <description>
+ Our continuous build system, Hydra, now produces <a
+ href="http://hydra.nixos.org/view/nix/trunk/latest";>binary
+ tarball distributions</a> of Nix for Mac OS X (Darwin), FreeBSD
+ and Linux. The tarballs contain all dependencies of Nix, making
+ it a lot easier to install Nix on those platforms. To install,
+ download a binary tarball, unpack it in the root directory, then
+ run <tt>nix-finish-install</tt>. See the <a
+
href="http://hydra.nixos.org/view/nix/trunk/latest/tarball/download-by-type/doc/manual#chap-installation";>manual</a>
+ for more information.
