Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs: nix-env --help The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH when spawning "man". To test this, I’m using the following: $ nix-build release.nix -A build $ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help Fixes #1627
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
