+This chapter discusses how to do package management with Nix, i.e.,
+how to obtain, install, upgrade, and erase packages. This is the
+“user’s” perspective of the Nix system — people who want to *create*
+packages should consult the [chapter on writing Nix
+expressions](../expressions/writing-nix-expressions.md).
