If you are using flakes to configure your system, you can either reference the package provided by this flake directly, e.g. for nixos:
{ inputs, pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.neovim = {
enable = true;
package = inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.packages.${pkgs.system}.default;
};
# or
environment.systemPackages = [
inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
];
}or you can apply the overlay to your package set, e.g for home-manager:
{
inputs = {
...
neovim-nightly-overlay.url = "github:nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay";
};
outputs = { self, ... }@inputs:
let
overlays = [
inputs.neovim-nightly-overlay.overlays.default
];
in
homeConfigurations = {
macbook-pro = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
modules = [
{
nixpkgs.overlays = overlays;
};
];
};
};
}Add the overlay to your home.nix (home-manager) or configuration.nix (nixos):
{
nixpkgs.overlays = [
(import (builtins.fetchTarball {
url = "https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz";
}))
];
}Due to some nixpkgs breaking changes if you are using NixOS 24.05 use the overlay below
also requires that you have the nixpkgs-unstable nix-channel
{
nixpkgs.config = {
packageOverrides = pkgs: let
pkgs' = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {
inherit (pkgs) system;
overlays = [
(import (builtins.fetchTarball {
url = "https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz";
}))
];
};
in {
inherit (pkgs') neovim;
};
};
}
