Summary

Nix is a purely functional package manager.

It allows multiple versions of a package to be installed side-by-side,

ensures that dependency specifications are complete,

supports atomic upgrades and rollbacks,

allows non-root users to install software, and has many other features.

It is the basis of the NixOS Linux distribution,

but it can be used equally well under other Unix systems.

See the README.fedora.md file for setup instructions.
