## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Source Machine:
|
|
|
|
1. **Supported Systems:**
|
|
- Linux or macOS computers with Nix installed.
|
|
- NixOS
|
|
- Windows systems using WSL2.
|
|
|
|
_Note_: Should be able to build nix derivations for the target platform.
|
|
Otherwise `--build-on-remote` can be used.
|
|
|
|
2. **Nix Installation:** If Nix is not yet installed on your system, refer to
|
|
the [nix installation page](https://nixos.org/download#download-nix).
|
|
|
|
### Destination Machine:
|
|
|
|
The machine must be reachable over the public internet or local network.
|
|
Nixos-anywhere does not support wifi networks. If a VPN is needed, define a
|
|
custom installer via the --kexec flag which connects to your VPN.
|
|
|
|
1. **Direct Boot Option:**
|
|
- Must be already running a NixOS installer.

|
|
- **Architecture & Support:** Must be operating on:
|
|
- x86-64 or aarch64 Linux systems with kexec support. Note: While most
|
|
x86-64 Linux systems support kexec, if you're using an architecture other
|
|
than those mentioned, you may need to specify a
|
|
[different kexec image](./howtos/INDEX.md#using-your-own-kexec-image)
|
|
manually.
|
|
- **Memory Requirements:**
|
|
- At least 1 GB of RAM (excluding swap space).
