+# Nix(OS) development on macOS

+
+# Nix on macOS
+
+First, you need to install Nix on your macOS. Using the [Official Installer](https://nixos.org/download) is a good start. If you need help, follow https://nixcademy.com/posts/nix-on-macos/.

+# Controlling your macOS settings with Nix
+
+Imagine having a `configuration.nix` file for your macOS configuration. This is actually entirely possible, using https://github.com/lnL7/nix-darwin/. Follow the README or this nice writeup: https://nixcademy.com/posts/nix-on-macos/#-step-2-going-declarative-with-nix-darwin.
