Installation

Requirements

• linux
• nix
• kvm (optional, for running virtual machine tests)

Setup

Follow this guide to Install nix with flakes enabled.

Binary cache

You can optionally use this project's binary cache to skip building software and download it instead. Edit /etc/nix/nix.conf (or related settings in NixOS config) and merge the new values separated by spaces into the options:

substituters = ... https://cache.staging.mlabs.city/cardano-nix
trusted-public-keys = ... cardano-nix:BQ7QKgoQQAuL3Kh6pfIJ8oxrihUbUSxf6tN9SxyW608=

Don't edit ~/.config/nix/nix.conf in your home directory. Don't add users to trusted-users because it is insecure.

Check that it works

nix --version
