Getting Started

First, install Nix:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

Make sure nix-command and flakes are enabled:

~/.config/nix/nix.conf

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

Finally, you can initialize a flake from the default template:

nix flake init --refresh -t github:loqusion/typix

Alternatively, you can use a template demonstrating Typst packages usage:

nix flake init --refresh -t 'github:loqusion/typix#with-typst-packages'

Here are some commands you can run from any template:

  • nix run .#watch — watch the input files and recompile on changes
  • nix run .#build — compile and copy the output to the current directory

For more info, see nix run --help.
