Normally if you run `nix search <package>` it will complain about something experimental.
|
||
|
|
<!--more-->
|
||
|
|
Assuming you read the message and understand what you are getting yourself into, follow the instructions to enable search. Alternatively, you can search on [https://search.nixos.org/](https://search.nixos.org/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put the following in `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now search will work but it will rebuild cache every time you search. To avoid building cache, run `nix registry pin nixpkgs`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Search packages with `nix search nixpkgs <package>`.
