I’m trying to install a package from unstable - right now LunarVim. The config rebuilds with no issues when I create the variable for the unstable tarball, and when I add it to packageOverrides. However, when I attempt to invoke it via unstable.lunarvim in systemPackages I get an error. I’m not really understanding what it’s asking here.
This is a fresh install. I’ve included the error and my config below.
# Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on
# your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page, on
# https://search.nixos.org/options and in the NixOS manual (`nixos-help`).
