How to Install Shiori on NixOS Latest

Shiori is an open source and simple bookmark manager that allows users to save and organize their bookmarks in a clean interface. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Shiori on NixOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• NixOS Latest installed on your system.
• Basic knowledge of the Nix Package Manager.

Step 1: Install Go

To run Shiori, you need to install Go on your system, which is a dependency package. To install Go, open the terminal and type the following command:

nix-env -i go

This command will install the latest version of Go on your system.

Step 2: Clone Shiori

Next, you need to clone the Shiori repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori.git

This will create a folder named Shiori in the current directory and clone the source code from the Shiori repository to that folder.

Step 3: Build Shiori

After cloning the Shiori repository, navigate to the Shiori folder using the command:

cd shiori

Now, you can build Shiori using the command:

nix-shell -p pkgs.goEnv --run "go build -o shiori"

This command uses nix-shell to open a shell where you have access to the required dependencies, and then it builds the shiori binary.

Step 4: Install Shiori

Once you have built the Shiori binary, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo mv shiori /usr/local/bin/

This command will move the shiori binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory, which is included in your $PATH. Therefore, you can run Shiori from anywhere in the terminal.

Step 5: Test Shiori

To test if the installation worked, type the following command:

shiori --version

This command will show you the version of Shiori you installed.

Conclusion
