Just installed home-manager with the "nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install" command. It says that it works but the home-manager command is not available (even after reboot). is this the right place to ask for help with this issue?
<quinquice>
commands like "man home-configuration.nix" work fine though. Just home-manager itself cannot be found
<energizer>
quinquice: are you on nixos?
<quinquice>
yes. Its a fresh install as of a few hours ago
<quinquice>
also: running that command seems to set up my configuration as specified in home.nix. The only thing missing is the home-manager command
<energizer>
i dont have home-manager on my path either, i just use the nixos module. i'm not sure how to enable that command
<quinquice>
Ah ok. I followed the standalone instructions, not the NixOS module. My concern with the NixOS module is that I wont be able to edit my user config without using sudo (which is not undoable, since its my personal machine, just annoying)
<energizer>
yeah that makes sense
<quinquice>
Ok I am trying to use the NixOS module but I'm getting "file 'home-manager/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path..." even after adding the correct channel
<energizer>
gotta log out
<quinquice>
even after relog and reboot
<quinquice>
same issue
<quinquice>
do I need to do 'nix-channels --add' as root?
<energizer>
yes
<quinquice>
still fails (after another reboot even)
<quinquice>
"sudo nix-channels --list" confirms that home-manager is a channel
<energizer>
sudo nix-channel --update
<quinquice>
Got it after a channel update and a reboot.
