A powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Nix provides atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of build environments.

This package uses systemd mechanisms to setup the nix package manager.

NOTE: This package creates (via tmpfiles.d) a top-level folder /nix. This is not compliant with the file hierarchy standard but should not be a problem for most people. See /usr/share/doc/nix-bin/README.Debian.
