-<title>Building Nix from Source</title>
-
-<para>After unpacking or checking out the Nix sources, issue the
-following commands:
-
-<screen>
-$ ./configure <replaceable>options...</replaceable>
-$ make
-$ make install</screen>
-
-Nix requires GNU Make so you may need to invoke
-<command>gmake</command> instead.</para>
-
-<para>When building from the Git repository, these should be preceded
-by the command:
-
-<screen>
-$ ./bootstrap.sh</screen>
-
-</para>
-
-<para>The installation path can be specified by passing the
-<option>--prefix=<replaceable>prefix</replaceable></option> to
-<command>configure</command>.  The default installation directory is
-<filename>/usr/local</filename>.  You can change this to any location
-you like.  You must have write permission to the
-<replaceable>prefix</replaceable> path.</para>
-
-<para>Nix keeps its <emphasis>store</emphasis> (the place where
-packages are stored) in <filename>/nix/store</filename> by default.
-This can be changed using
-<option>--with-store-dir=<replaceable>path</replaceable></option>.</para>
-
-<warning><para>It is best <emphasis>not</emphasis> to change the Nix
-store from its default, since doing so makes it impossible to use
-pre-built binaries from the standard Nixpkgs channels — that is, all
-packages will need to be built from source.</para></warning>
-
-<para>Nix keeps state (such as its database and log files) in
-<filename>/nix/var</filename> by default.  This can be changed using
-<option>--localstatedir=<replaceable>path</replaceable></option>.</para>
