# Installation

## Nix
This repo has a nix flake you can use to install the package directly:

```nix
{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    quickshell = {
      url = "git+https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };
}
```

Quickshell's binary is available at `quickshell.packages.<system>.default` to be added to
lists such as `environment.systemPackages` or `home.packages`.

The package contains several features detailed in [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) which can be enabled
or disabled with overrides:

```nix
quickshell.packages.<system>.default.override {
  withJemalloc = true;
  withQtSvg = true;
  withWayland = true;
  withX11 = true;
  withPipewire = true;
  withHyprland = true;
}
```

Note: by default this package is built with clang as it is significantly faster.

## Arch (AUR)
Quickshell has a third party [AUR package] available under the same name.
As is usual with the AUR it is not maintained by us and should be looked over before use.

[AUR package]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickshell

## Anything else
See [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for instructions on building and packaging quickshell.
