Local Food Nodes is a project that aims to make it easier for local food producers to sell their products directly to consumers. If you want to install Local Food Nodes on NixOS Latest, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before you begin, you will need to have the following:
Open a terminal on your NixOS Latest computer. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + T or by using the Applications menu to search for Terminal.
Before installing any new software, it's important to make sure your system is up to date. Run the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command updates your NixOS system and ensures that you have access to the latest versions of all software packages.
To install Local Food Nodes, you'll need to add the package to your NixOS configuration file. Open the configuration file with your favorite text editor. In this example, we'll use nano:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Add the following line to the file, in the environment.systemPackages section:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
localfoodnodes
];
Save the file and exit your text editor.
Finally, rebuild your NixOS system to install Local Food Nodes:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This will take a few minutes, as NixOS needs to download and install the Local Food Nodes package and its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Local Food Nodes is working correctly by running the following command:
localfoodnodes --version
This should display the version number of the Local Food Nodes software, indicating that it has been successfully installed.
