# The NixOS Installer
This installer is named after my doggo Onyxia.
At the core of this installer it does the following:
- Partition the drive of your choice
- Installs a base of NixOS (`configuration.nix`)
- Installs Plasma (`plasma.nix`)
- Installs needed packages (`programs.nix`)
nix files are from [this repo](https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nix-configs/) but that can be changed as needed.
Tested on the following drives:
- SATA
- NVMe
This sets the hashedPassword to my own so you will need to update it to match your own as well as the username. I created the hash with this command:
```
sudo mkpasswd -m sha-512
```
## Get Started
Prerequisites:
- Prepare an installation medium.
- Boot the live environment.
- Connect to internet.
## Connect to internet
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-installation-booting-networking
## Start the installer
```
curl https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nyxi-installer/-/raw/main/install.sh > install.sh; sh install.sh
```
The following will happen:
- Clear partition table for `/dev/***`.
- Creates a GPT partition table for `/dev/***`.
- Create a +512M EFI partiton at `/dev/***1`.
- Create a encrypted LVM at `/dev/***2`.
- Create a swap partition in the LVM and sets it as the same size as the RAM for hibernation if requested.
- Create a root partition in the LVM.
- Install systemd-boot.
