Hello guys, I’m quite new to NixOS, I’m still adapting to the NixOS way.
Recently I installed a new package via home manager. Also I wanted to configure the program but to me it seems, that it cannot find the packages installed via home.nix configuration.
I couldn’t find any information online, the examples only configure packages installed in configuration.nix and not those from home.nix
Please help me
On rebuild I get the following error:
The option `home-manager.users.aschulz.programs.nh' does not exist.
home.nix

config,
pkgs,
