# Installing on a new machine

1) Install [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) from an ISO via USB
2) Reboot machine
3) Edit `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` and add `git` to packages
4) Clone this repo
5) Create a new directory under `hosts/` for the new machine
6) Copy `/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix` to `hosts/<host>/hardware.nix`
7) Register the host in `flake.nix` via `mkHost`:
   ```nix
   nixosConfigurations.<host> = mkHost { host = "<host>"; };
   ```
8) `git add .`
9) Run `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>`

# Building NixOS VM
