1## Installing `nix-tools`

3To build the latest `nix-tools` and store the result at `./nt`, run:

5```bash

6nix build -f https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/archive/master.tar.gz pkgs.haskell-nix.nix-tools.ghc884 --out-link nt

7```

9If you would like to then install `nix-tools` into your profile, run:

11```bash

12nix-env -i ./nt

13```

15## Optional: Installing via [Haskell.nix][] source

17The [Haskell.nix][] and `nix-tools` source will be useful if you would

18like to contribute improvements, or read the source code to fully

19understand something that the documentation doesn't cover.

21```bash

22git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/nix-tools

23git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix

24cd haskell.nix

25nix build -f . pkgs.haskell-nix.nix-tools.ghc884 --arg sourcesOverride '{ nix-tools = ../nix-tools; }' --out-link nt

26```
