MTR is an open source network diagnostics tool that combines traceroute and ping to provide a comprehensive and detailed view of network performance. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install MTR on NixOS Latest using BitWizard.
Before you start installing MTR, it is important to ensure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update your system to the latest version of NixOS Latest.
To install BitWizard, you need to add the following line to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ bitwizard ];
This line will ensure that BitWizard is installed on your system.
Now, that BitWizard is installed, you can proceed to install MTR. To install MTR, add the following line to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ mtr ];
This line tells NixOS Latest to install MTR on your system.
After you have updated your configuration file, you need to reload it for the changes to take effect. Run the following command to reload the configuration:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Now, that you have MTR installed on your system, you can test it by running the following command:
