# Install

A makefile is used for ease of use. To set this up on a new machine you will need the following:

```bash
nix-env -iA nixos.gnumake
nix-env -iA nixos.git
```

then checkout this repo, create & modify the `.env` file

```bash
git clone https://git.jpatrick.io/james/nil.git /tmp/install
cd /tmp/install
cp .env_sample .env
```

Once you have set the `PASSPHRASE` & `DISK` vars run

```bash
sudo make nix_install
```

# TODO

- Document setting the `networking.hostId` variable.
- Use [NixOS Hardware](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware) Modules.
- Fix wireless driver issue :: This uses the Realtek 8852AE 802.11AX WWAN.
