Takahē is an open-source, pure functional keyboard firmware with a focus on ergonomics and flexibility. It is compatible with many different keyboards and allows for easy customization. Here's how you can install Takahē on NixOS latest version:
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux systems, including NixOS. To install it, open a terminal and run the following command:
$ sudo curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
This command will download and install Nix package manager on your system.
Once Nix is installed, you can use it to install the latest version of Takahē. Run the following command:
$ nix-env -iA takahē -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/install
This command will download and install the latest version of Takahē from the official repository. It will also enable Cachix, a binary cache service that speeds up builds on NixOS.
Now that Takahē is installed, you need to configure it to work with your keyboard. To do that, you'll need to create a configuration file.
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/takae/
$ touch ~/.config/takae/config.yaml
Then, open the config.yaml
file and add your keyboard configuration. You can find example configuration files in the Takahē documentation.
Finally, you need to flash your keyboard with the Takahē firmware. Follow the instructions for your specific keyboard to do so.
Congratulations, you have installed Takahē on NixOS Latest Version, and you can now begin customizing and optimizing your keyboard experience.
