Help

I need to install SF mono fonts on my nixos system. By searching from internet I could find this file https://gist.github.com/robbins/dccf1238e971973a6a963b04c486c099

Its contents is

{ lib, stdenv, fetchurl, unzip, p7zip }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "apple-fonts";
  version = "1";

  pro = fetchurl {
    url = "https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/design/resources/download/SF-Pro.dmg";
    sha256 = "sha256-g/SzgU3vOzm8uRuA6AN/N8Tnrl2Vpya58hx99dGfecI=";
  };

  compact = fetchurl {
    url = "https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/design/resources/download/SF-Compact.dmg";
    sha256 = "sha256-SIht9sqmeijEeU4uLwm+tlZtFlTnD/G5GH8haUL6dlU=";
  };

  mono = fetchurl {
    url = "https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/design/resources/download/SF-Mono.dmg";
    sha256 = "sha256-jnhTTmSy5J8MJotbsI8g5hxotgjvyDbccymjABwajYw=";
  };

  ny = fetchurl {
    url = "https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/design/resources/download/NY.dmg";
    sha256 = "sha256-Rr0UpJa7kemczCqNn6b8HNtW6PiWO/Ez1LUh/WNk8S8=";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [ p7zip ];

  sourceRoot = ".";

  dontUnpack = true;

  installPhase = ''
    7z x ${pro}
    cd SFProFonts 
    7z x 'SF Pro Fonts.pkg'
    7z x 'Payload~'
    mkdir -p $out/fontfiles
    mv Library/Fonts/* $out/fontfiles
    cd ..
    7z x ${mono}
    cd SFMonoFonts
    7z x 'SF Mono Fonts.pkg'
    7z x 'Payload~'
    mv Library/Fonts/* $out/fontfiles
    cd ..
    7z x ${compact}
    cd SFCompactFonts
    7z x 'SF Compact Fonts.pkg'
    7z x 'Payload~'
    mv Library/Fonts/* $out/fontfiles
    cd ..
    7z x ${ny}
    cd NYFonts
    7z x 'NY Fonts.pkg'
    7z x 'Payload~'
    mv Library/Fonts/* $out/fontfiles
    mkdir -p $out/usr/share/fonts/OTF $out/usr/share/fonts/TTF
    mv $out/fontfiles/*.otf $out/usr/share/fonts/OTF
    mv $out/fontfiles/*.ttf $out/usr/share/fonts/TTF
    rm -rf $out/fontfiles
  '';

  meta = {
    description = "Apple San Francisco, New York fonts";
    homepage = "https://developer.apple.com/fonts/";
    license = lib.licenses.unfree;
  };
}

But I don’t know how to install SF mono fonts from this file.

I have created this flake: GitHub - Lyndeno/apple-fonts.nix: Nix flake to easily install Apple fonts from their website.

Let me know if the example in the readme is enough to help you get started.
