`nix app` had something called `InstallableDerivedPath` which is actually the same thing. We go with the later's name because it has become more correct. I originally did this change (more hurriedly) as part of #6225 --- a mini store-only Nix and a full Nix need to share this code. In the first RFC meeting for https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134 we discussed how some splitting of the massive `installables.cc` could begin prior, as that is a good thing anyways. (@edolstra's words, not mine!) This would be one such PR.
Nix
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
