Nix Software Center

Built with Nix License: GPLv3 Chat on Matrix

A graphical app store for Nix built with libadwaita, GTK4, and Relm4. Heavily inspired by GNOME Software.

Features

  • Install packages to configuration.nix
    • Flakes support can be enabled in the preferences menu
  • Install packages with nix profile or nix-env
  • Show updates for all installed packages
  • Search for packages
  • Launch applications without installing via nix-shell and nix run

NixOS Installation

Head of configuration.nix

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
  nix-software-center = (import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "vlinkz";
    repo = "nix-software-center";
    rev = "0.0.1";
    sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
  })) {};
in

Packages:

environment.systemPackages =

  nix-software-center
  # rest of your packages
];

For any other method of installation, when rebuilding you will be prompted to authenticate twice in a row by pkexec
