Memos is a free, open source, and extensible note-taking application for various platforms, including macOS, Windows, and Linux. If you're a NixOS user and want to install Memos on your system, this tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
Before starting, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Open a terminal window on your NixOS system.
Run the following command to clone the Memos repository from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos.git
$ cd memos
nix-shell
command. Run the following command:$ nix-shell --run 'make dependencies'
This command will download and install all the required build dependencies.
$ nix-shell --run 'make build'
This command will build the Memos application and create an AppImage
file in the build
directory.
memos.AppImage
file executable. Run the following command:$ chmod +x build/memos.AppImage
memos/build
directory and run the following command:$ ./memos.AppImage
This will launch Memos on your system. You can now start using it to take notes.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Memos on your NixOS system.
