How to Install Reciphpes on NixOS Latest

Reciphpes is a recipe management system designed to allow users to create, store and manage recipe collections. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install Reciphpes on the latest version of NixOS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to have the following:

A running instance of NixOS Latest
A terminal with superuser privileges
Basic knowledge of working with the Nix package manager

Installing Reciphpes

First, we need to clone the Reciphpes Github repository. Open your terminal, navigate to your preferred directory and run:
```
git clone https://github.com/nanawel/reciphpes.git
```
Once the repository has been cloned successfully, navigate to the project directory:
```
cd reciphpes
```
In the Reciphpes directory, you will find a default.nix file, which is used to build and install the application with the Nix package manager. We need to run the following command to build the Reciphpes package:
```
nix-build
```
The above command will create a result symlink, which points to the compiled Reciphpes application. We can start Reciphpes using the following command:
```
./result/bin/reciphpes
```
Alternatively, you can make Reciphpes available system-wide by installing it using the Nix package manager:
```
sudo nix-env -i ./result
```
Finally, we need to configure Reciphpes to use a database. By default, Reciphpes is configured to use SQLite, but you can configure it to use a database of your choice. To use SQLite, create an SQLite database file:
```
touch ./data/reciphpes.sqlite3
```
Edit the Reciphpes configuration file located at ./data/config.edn and update the database settings to point to the SQLite database file created above:
```
{:database
 {:classname "org.sqlite.JDBC"
  :subprotocol "sqlite"
  :subname "./data/reciphpes.sqlite3"}}
```
Save the changes and exit the file.
We're done! You can now start Reciphpes and enjoy using this recipe management application:
```
reciphpes
```

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install Reciphpes on NixOS Latest using the Nix package manager. Now that you have installed Reciphpes, you can start creating, storing and managing your recipe collections with ease. Happy cooking!
