How to Install Screaming Liquid Tiger on NixOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Screaming Liquid Tiger on the latest version of NixOS.

Step 1: Update the System

Before starting with the installation process, it is recommended to update the system. To do so, run the following command:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

This command will update the system to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Git

Git is required to download the Screaming Liquid Tiger repository. To install Git, run the following command:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.git

Step 3: Clone the Screaming Liquid Tiger Repository

Now that Git is installed, we can clone the Screaming Liquid Tiger repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://git.herrbischoff.com/screaming-liquid-tiger/

This will create a new directory called screaming-liquid-tiger in the current working directory.

Step 4: Create a New Nix Package

Screaming Liquid Tiger is not available in the Nix Packages collection, so we need to create a new package for it. To do so, create a new file called screaming-liquid-tiger.nix with the following contents:

{ stdenv, fetchurl }:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "screaming-liquid-tiger-${version}";
  version = "1.3.0";

  src = fetchurl {
    url = "https://git.herrbischoff.com/screaming-liquid-tiger/snapshot/screaming-liquid-tiger-${version}.tar.gz";
    sha256 = "1ydy501kaxgck6x2x6znr24jgjqc53z1ylavpnpb6xp7j6phhbn";
  };

  buildInputs = [ ];

  installPhase =
    "mkdir -p $out/bin && cp screaming-liquid-tiger $out/bin/";

  meta = with stdenv.lib; {
    description = "Screaming Liquid Tiger is a colorful implementation of the Tiger hash algorithm.";
    homepage = "https://git.herrbischoff.com/screaming-liquid-tiger/";
    license = licenses.gpl3Plus;
    maintainers = [ maintainers.yourName ];
  };
}

The contents of this file define the package, including where to download the source code, how to install it, and some metadata about the package.

Step 5: Install Screaming Liquid Tiger

Now that we have created the package, we can install it using the following command:

sudo nix-env -i ./screaming-liquid-tiger.nix

Screaming Liquid Tiger should now be installed on your system!

Step 6: Test the Installation

To verify that the installation was successful, run the following command:

screaming-liquid-tiger -v

This should output information about the version of Screaming Liquid Tiger that is installed.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Screaming Liquid Tiger on NixOS Latest.
