Declarative builds
and deployments.
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration. Learn how to make reproducible, declarative and reliable systems.
Reproducible
Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that they are reproducible and don’t have undeclared dependencies, soif a package works on one machine, it will also work on another.
Declarative
Nix makes ittrivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using.
Reliable
Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one packagecannot break other packages. It allows you toroll back to previous versions, and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade.
Choose from over 120 000 Packages
The Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs) offers a large selection of packages for the Nix package manager.
