nix-env -i anahita

This will download and install the latest version of Anahita.

Step 3 - Configuring Anahita

Now that Anahita is installed, you need to configure it. To do this, you first need to create a new database for Anahita. You can do this by running the following command:

Replace "password" with a strong password.

Next, you need to grant the new user access to the database. You can do this by running the following command:

Once you have configured the database, you need to configure Anahita itself. To do this, open the Anahita configuration file with your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/anahita/anahita.conf

In this file, you need to enter the database details that you just created. Modify these lines to match your configuration:

DB_USER="anahitauser"

Save the file and close the text editor.
