Nix Software Center

Built with Nix License: GPLv3 Chat on Matrix Chat on Discord

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 Flakes Installation

flake.nix

{
  inputs = {
    # other inputs
    nix-software-center.url = "github:snowfallorg/nix-software-center";
# rest of flake.nix

configuration.nix

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    inputs.nix-software-center.packages.${system}.nix-software-center
    # rest of your packages
];

NixOS Installation

Head of configuration.nix

if you are on unstable channel or any version after 22.11:

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
  nix-software-center = import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "snowfallorg";
    repo = "nix-software-center";
    rev = "0.1.2";
    sha256 = "xiqF1mP8wFubdsAQ1BmfjzCgOD3YZf7EGWl9i69FTls=";
  }) {};
in

...

environment.systemPackages =
with pkgs; [
  nix-software-center
  # rest of your packages
];

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

'nix-env' Installation

git clone https://github.com/snowfallorg/nix-software-center
nix-env -f nix-software-center -i nix-software-center
