NixOS Logo and Branding Update Announcement

Build reproducible development environments, simplify your deployments!

Nix

The stand-alone package manager that ensures reproducible builds and makes sure that everything that runs on one machine will also work on another.

NixOS

Run your favourite webservice in 5 minutes: NixOS is a Linux distrubition built on Nix and adds a powerful module system that enables running your favourite application in no time.

Reproducible

Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that they are reproducible and don’t have undeclared dependencies, so if a package works on one machine, it will also work on another.

Declarative

Nix makes it trivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using.

Reliable

Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one package cannot break other packages. It allows you to roll back to previous versions, and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade.

Choose from Thousands of Packages

The Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs) is a set of over 120 000 packages for the Nix package manager.
