Step one

curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Step two

Add the following lines to the end of ~/.zshrc:

source $HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh

export NIX_PATH="nixpkgs=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixos-16.03"

Step three

Run the following commands in a new shell, because you'll need to .zshrc changes made by step two:

nix-channel --add http://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03 nixos-16.03

nix-channel --update

Step four

Run this to test whether it's working:

nix-shell -p rogue --command rogue
