In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install ass from the https://github.com/tycrek/ass repository on nixOS Latest.
If you haven't already installed Nix, you can install it using the following command:
$ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Verify that Nix has been installed correctly by running:
$ nix-env --version
You should see a version number displayed on the terminal.
Next, we need to clone the ass repository from https://github.com/tycrek/ass:
$ git clone https://github.com/tycrek/ass.git
This will download the repository to your local machine.
Change into the directory where the ass repository was downloaded:
$ cd ass
Now we will build the package using Nix:
$ nix-env -f default.nix -i ass
This will build and install the ass package on your system.
We can now verify that the installation was successful by running:
$ which ass
This command should return the path to the ass executable.
/home/user-name/.nix-profile/bin/ass
You have now successfully installed ass on nixOS Latest. You can start using it by running ass on the terminal.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
