New to NixOS and trying to set up Home Manager. I followed the instructions for installation as a NixOS module from the Home Manager manual. I follow the unstable NixOS packages channel, so I added Home Manager master.
I added the import line described by the manual such that the imports section of my configuration.nix now looks like this:
imports =
[
./hardware-configuration.nix
<home-manager/nixos>
];
I also added the following section later in configuration.nix:
home-manager.extraSpecialArgs = { inherit unstable };
home-manager.users.myUserName = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.packages = [
pkgs.atool
pkgs.httpie
];
};
When I attempt sudo nixos-rebuild switch, I get the following errors:
error:
... while evaluating the attribute 'config.system.build.toplevel'

However, commenting out or outright removing all the lines pertaining to Home Manager from my config does nothing; neither does removing the Home Manager channel. In that way it seems unrelated to Home Manager, but the last rebuild I did shortly before installing Home Manager went off without a hitch, and the only thing I changed between then and now was installing Home Manager.
