Examples

Show what packages are installed in the default profile: |
# nix profile

Name: gdb
Flake attribute: legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.gdb
Original flake URL: flake:nixpkgs
Locked flake URL:
github:NixOS/nixpkgs/7b38b03d76ab71bdc8dc325e3f6338d984cc35ca
Store paths:
/nix/store/indzcw5wvlhx6vwk7k4iq29q15chvr3d-gdb-11.1
Name:
blender-bin
Flake attribute: packages.x86_64-linux.default
Original flake URL: flake:blender-bin
Locked flake URL:
github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender
Store paths:
/nix/store/i798sxl3j40wpdi1rgf391id1b5klw7g-blender-bin-3.1.2
Note that you can unambiguously rebuild a package from a profile through its locked flake URL and flake attribute, e.g.
# nix build github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender#packages.x86_64-linux.default
will build the package blender-bin shown above.
Description
This command shows what packages are currently installed in a profile. For each installed package, it shows the following information:
|
• |
Name: A unique name used to unambiguously identify the package in invocations of nix profile remove and nix profile upgrade. | ||
|
• |
Index: An integer that can be used to unambiguously identify the package in invocations of nix profile remove and nix profile upgrade. (Deprecated, will be removed in a future version in favor of Name.) | ||
|
• |
Flake attribute: The flake output attribute path that provides the package (e.g. packages.x86_64-linux.hello). | ||
|
• |
Original flake URL: The original (“unlocked”) flake reference specified by the user when the package was first installed via nix profile install. | ||
|
• |
Locked flake URL: The locked flake reference to which the original flake reference was resolved. | ||
|
• |
Store paths: The store path(s) of the package. |
Options
|
• |
Produce output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another program.
|
• |
Print compact JSON output on a single line, even when the output is a terminal. Some commands may print multiple JSON objects on separate lines.
See `--pretty`.
|
• |
Print multi-line, indented JSON output for readability.
Default: indent if output is to a terminal.
This option is only effective when `--json` is also specified.
|
• |
--profile path |
The profile to operate on.
Common evaluation options
|
• |
--arg name expr |
Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--arg-from-file name path |
Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--arg-from-stdin name |
Pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--argstr name string |
Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.
|
• |
--eval-store store-url |
The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store derivations (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.
|
• |
Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.
|
• |
--include / -I path |
Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths
This option may be given multiple times.
Paths added through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.
|
• |
--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref |
Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.
Logging-related options
|
• |
Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.
|
• |
--log-format format |
Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.
|
• |
--print-build-logs / -L |
Print full build logs on standard error.
|
• |
Decrease the logging verbosity level.
|
• |
--verbose / -v |
Increase the logging verbosity level.
Miscellaneous global options
|
• |
Show usage information.
|
• |
Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.
|
• |
--option name value |
Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).
|
• |
Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.
|
• |
During evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store. During building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.
|
• |
Show version information.
Note
See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.
