Hi, Sorry for the badly worded subject line.
NixOS newbie here. Playing with NixOS on a VirtualBox installation and really really liking it so far. I am using nix-shell and the quick start example in the manual (step #6 listed here: <https://nixos.org/nix/manual/>) does not seem to work for me: [ram@nixos:~] nix-shell -p hello these paths will be fetched (0.04 MiB ... *** Downloading .... [ram@nixos:~]$ hello The program `hello' is currently not installed ... ... [ram@nixos:~]$ exit [ram@nixos:~]$ Note that the prompt string didn't change when we entered the nix-shell. If I do: [ram@nixos:~]$ nix-shell -p hello --pure [nix-shell:~]$ hello Hello, world! [nix-shell:~]$ I wonder why without "--pure" it didn't get into the shell. Would appreciate any help. thanks -- Ramakrishnan "Err and err and err again, but less and less and less" ⟶ Piet Hein _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
