• MacOS ** Install

**** Install Nix (with daemon) with official script ~sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)~ or using https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer

~curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install~ **** Turn on flake edit ~/etc/nix/nix.conf~ ~experimental-features = nix-command flakes~

**** Install nix-darwin

https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin#install #+begin_src shell nix-build https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/archive/master.tar.gz -A installer ./result/bin/darwin-installer #+end_src

**** install xcode **** Install brew there are lots of GUI programs, we cannot install nicely using pure nix. There is brew-module in nix-darwin. ~/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)~ What is benefits of this ? we can install/uninstall applications using nix don't forget to do ~brew analytics off~

**** import gpg keys (airdrop) ~gpg --list-secret-keys~ or ~gpg --list-secret-keys [email protected]~

#+begin_src shell pub 4096R/ABC12345 2020-01-01 [expires: 2025-12-31] uid Your Name [email protected] sub 4096R/DEF67890 2020-01-01 [expires: 2025-12-31] #+end_src
