About Nix-on-Droid
Nix-on-Droid brings Nix package manager of NixOS fame
to your mobile device.
If you're not after its advanced features,
you might still be interested in tapping into nixpkgs,
a vast collection of precompiled software.
At first start the app will download Nix repackaged for Android,
leaving you with a barebones system afterwards.
If you are an experienced Nix user, you know what to do next.
If you are in doubt, follow the on-screen instructions,
to install more of the familiar Linux software
and declaratively manage your environment.
NOTE: this software is alpha-quality.
Users that value
stability and Android integration over
features and package selection
might better be served with Termux as of now.
Nix-on-Droid uses a fork of Termux application as a terminal emulator.
