@ -13,6 +13,17 @@ Before you can use `nixos-anywhere` without flakes, you'll need to manually
generate the paths for the NixOS system toplevel and disk image. The paths are
generated using `nix-build` and are necessary for executing `nixos-anywhere`.
### Generating Disk Image without Dependencies:
To generate the disk image without dependencies, execute:
```bash
nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskoNoDeps'
```
This will output a script path in `/nix/store` that will format your disk. Make
note of this path for later use.

## Running NixOS-Anywhere
With both paths in hand, you can execute `nixos-anywhere` as follows:
```bash
nixos-anywhere --store-paths /nix/store/[your-toplevel-path] /nix/store/[your-disk-image-path]
nixos-anywhere --store-paths /nix/store/[your-disk-image-path] /nix/store/[your-toplevel-path]
```
Replace `[your-toplevel-path]` and `[your-disk-image-path]` with the
Replace `[your-disk-image-path]` and `[your-toplevel-path]` with the
corresponding store paths you generated earlier.
