## Adding a new non-NixOS Linux host

1. clone this repo
2. add entry to `flake.nix`
3. add file at `modules/home-manager/hosts/< hostname >/< username >.nix`
4. maybe add file at `modules/hosts/< system >/< hostname >/default.nix`
5. run macOS installer from https://determinate.systems/posts/graphical-nix-installer
6. run `nix run home-manager/$(grep home-manager/release flake.nix |cut -d '"' -f2 |cut -d '/' -f3) -- --flake ~/repos/dots build`
7. run `sudo mv /etc/shells{,.before-nix-darwin}`
8. run `sudo mv /etc/zshenv{,.before-nix-darwin}`
9. Note that you may also have to move or remove `~/.zshrc`
10. Run `nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/repos/dots`

3. in Settings > Privacy & Security > App Management you will need to allow iTerm
4. **Note:** ensure `firefox-profile-switcher-connector` is linked:
11. After the nix command finally works, open a new shell and it should have all the nixified settings in it.
12. Go into iTerm2 and use the Hack Nerd Mono font so that the prompt and other things look right. You will likely also want to adjust the size of the font.
