<para>This command installs NixOS in the file system mounted on

<filename>/mnt</filename>, based on the NixOS configuration specified

<para>A typical NixOS installation is done by creating and mounting a
|
|
file system on <filename>/mnt</filename>, generating a NixOS
|
|
configuration in
|
|
<filename>/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</filename>, and running
|
|
<command>nixos-install</command>. For instance, if we want to install
|
|
NixOS on an <literal>ext4</literal> file system created in
|
|
<filename>/dev/sda1</filename>:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
|
|
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
|
|
$ nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
|
|
$ # edit /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
|
|
$ nixos-install
|
|
</screen>
