Prerequisites

Before installing SIP3 on NixOS, you need to make sure that:

  • You have access to the root user or have sudo privileges on the machine.
  • Your system is up to date and has the latest patches applied.

Step 1: Install Nix Package Manager

The Nix package manager is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It allows you to install packages and their dependencies in a sandboxed environment, which means that it won't conflict with other installed packages.

To install the Nix package manager, run the following command:

$ sudo sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

The installation process will take some time to complete. Wait for it to finish.

Step 2: Clone SIP3 Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-core.git

$ nix-build https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-core/archive/master.tar.gz -A core

This command will take some time to complete. Once it is done, you should see a symlink to the SIP3 binary in the result/bin directory.

$ ls -l result/bin

Step 4: Start SIP3

To start SIP3, run the following command:

$ ./result/bin/sip3-core run

This command will start SIP3 and display the console output.

Step 5: Access SIP3
