This means that the following no longer works: - > nix build nixpkgs.hello # Nix 2.3 + ```console + nix build nixpkgs.hello # Nix 2.3 + ``` Instead, you can either use the `#` syntax to select a package from a flake, e.g. - > nix build nixpkgs#hello + ```console + nix build nixpkgs#hello + ``` Or, if you want to use the `nixpkgs` channel in the `NIX_PATH` environment variable: - > nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' hello + ```console + nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' hello + ``` * The old `nix run` has been renamed to `nix shell`, while there is a new `nix run` that runs a default command. So instead of - > nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello # Nix 2.3 + ```console + nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello # Nix 2.3 + ``` you should use - > nix shell nixpkgs#hello -c hello + ```console + nix shell nixpkgs#hello -c hello + ``` or just - > nix run nixpkgs#hello + ```console + nix run nixpkgs#hello + ``` if the command you want to run has the same name as the package. |
