In order to complete this process, you will need to have a basic understanding of nixOS and have a working knowledge of the command line.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed further, we need to ensure that our system is up-to-date. We can update our system by running the following command in the terminal.

Installation

  1. First, we will start by cloning the MokinToken repository. Open the terminal and run the following command.

    git clone https://github.com/nexus-uw/mokintoken.git
    
  2. Once the repository is cloned, we will need to navigate to the directory where the code is located.

    cd mokintoken
    
  3. Now we need to build the project using the Nix package manager. To do this, we will run the following command.

    nix-build release.nix
    
  4. Once the build is complete, we will have a result directory in our project. This directory consists of an executable file that we can run to start the MokinToken server.

  5. To start the MokinToken server, run the following command.

    ./result/bin/mokintoken
    
  6. If you encounter any errors while running the server, ensure that you have all the necessary dependencies installed on your system. You can also check the logs located in the result/var/log directory for any error messages.
