nix run

Run an application from a Nix flake. See tldr nix3 flake for information about flakes. More information: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-run.html.

  • Run a command whose name matches the package name from nixpkgs (if you want a different command from that package, see tldr nix3 shell):

nix run nixpkgs#{{pkg}}

  • Run the default application in the flake in the current directory:

nix run
