Mention number of derivations to be build/fetched in output
2020-06-18Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.Samir Talwar
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this. Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making installation a no-op. [Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html

2020-05-23Manpages: Do not refer to nixpkgs-channelsJoachim Breitner
Unless I am misinformed, using the `nixpkgs` repository directly is now preferred?

2020-05-21focus on golden-path covering most scenariosTravis A. Everett
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing setup--not enforcing a best-practice... Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers: + no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume: All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use) + create new unencrypted volume: Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault + create new encrypted-at-rest volume: Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault Catalina, T2, no FileVault - require user to pre-create encrypted volume Catalina, T2, FileVault

2020-05-16Remove -j option from simple-build-testingJörg Thalheim
By default Nix/NixOS already set a reasonable default `max-jobs = auto` so we don't need to mention it in this tutorial. The option is still documented in other parts of the documentation if users ever stumble over this. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2531

General cleanup that makes it easier to search for the term.
2020-05-09Update "Upgrading Nix" documentationShao Cheng
This PR proposes two changes to the "Upgrading Nix" documentation: * Besides updating `nixpkgs.nix`, we also update `nixpkgs.cacert`, so that the certificates are up-to-date as well. * Add the instructions for multi-user mode on Linux.

2020-04-14add NIX_USER_CONF_FILESzimbatm
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files. Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding which user files Nix will load during startup.
