Bumpy Booby is a free and open-source disk partitioning software that is available for Windows and Linux. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Bumpy Booby on the latest version of NixOS.
Before installing any new software, it's important to ensure that your system is up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Next, we need to install the packages required to build and install Bumpy Booby on our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.git \
nixos.pkgs.gcc \
nixos.pkgs.autoconf \
nixos.pkgs.make \
nixos.pkgs.pkg-config \
nixos.pkgs.xorg.libXtst \
nixos.pkgs.qt5.qtbase \
nixos.pkgs.qt5.qttools
Now that we have all the required packages, we can download and build Bumpy Booby on our system by running the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/derivoile/bumpy-booby.git
cd bumpy-booby/
qmake
make
After the build process has completed successfully, we can now install Bumpy Booby on our system by running the following command:
sudo make install
Now that Bumpy Booby is installed on our system, we can launch it by running the following command:
bumpy-booby
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Bumpy Booby on NixOS. You can now use it to manage your disk partitions.
