<para>To use Nix, some environment variables should be set. In
particular, <literal>PATH</literal> should contain the directories

+<filename><emphasis>prefix</emphasis>/bin</filename> and
<filename>~/.nix-profile/bin</filename>. The first directory contains
the Nix tools themselves, while <filename>~/.nix-profile</filename> is
a symbolic link to the current <emphasis>user environment</emphasis>
(an automatically generated package consisting of symlinks to
installed packages). The simplest way to set the required environment
variables is to include the file
