How to

1. See https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager for manual and configuration options
2. Remember to add unstable channel (in this case) in the terminal:
3. sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
4. sudo nix-channel --update
5. Include "<home-manager/nixos>" in "Imports" section above
6. Install NixOS on a Machine. I use the default Gnome installer from https://nixos.org/download.html.
7. Copy the configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix files from the /etc/nixos directory
   1. Rename configuration.nix to default.nix and link to the appropriate modules under flake.nix
8. Create a hosts directory on git for the new machine and either use an existing users or create a new one
