A new machine can be added by adding a new definition in flake.nix. Note that the user and host configuration.nix and home.nix files are

macOS installation instructions

Install Nix using the upstream Nix (Pick "no" then "yes):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install

Open a new shell and clone the repository:

# Install git + other command tools. (Used by many programs)
xcode-select --install

# Clone via HTTPs
git clone https://git.paperclover.net/clo/config.git
# With SSH Authentication
git clone git@git.paperclover.net:clo/config

Setup nix-darwin

# Tell nix-darwin where the flake is at.
sudo mkdir /etc/nix-darwin
sudo ln -s $(realpath flake.nix) /etc/nix-darwin/

# Enable configuration.
nix run .#darwin-rebuild switch

Additionally, it may be helpful to disable the unsigned app popup.

sudo spctl --master-disable
# then, go to System Settings -> Privacy to allow unsigned apps.
