<para>The command <command>nix-install-package</command> interactively
|
||||
installs a Nix Package file (<filename>*.nixpkg</filename>), which is
|
||||
a small file that contains a store path to be installed along with the
|
||||
URL of a binary cache. The Nix Package file is either
|
||||
<replaceable>file</replaceable>, or automatically downloaded from
|
||||
<replaceable>url</replaceable> if the <option>--url</option> switch is
|
||||
used.</para>

install pre-built binary packages with all necessary dependencies.
|
||||
<command>nix-install-package</command> is intended to be associated
|
||||
with the MIME type <literal>application/nix-package</literal> in a web
|
||||
browser so that it is invoked automatically when you click on
|
||||
<filename>*.nixpkg</filename> files. When invoked, it restarts itself
|
||||
in a terminal window (since otherwise it would be invisible when run
|
||||
from a browser), asks the user to confirm whether to install the
|
||||
package, and if so downloads and installs the package into the user’s
|
||||
current profile.</para>

the <link

This will open a window that asks you to confirm that you want to
