otherwise the headings won't match at the point where they are included. this is a bit hacky and brittle, but works for now.

## User profile link
|
|
|
|
A symbolic link to the user's current profile.
|
|
|
|
- `~/.nix-profile`
|
|
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` if [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
By default, this symlink points to:
|
|
|
|
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profiles/default` for regular users
|
|
- `$NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root/profile` for `root`
|
|
|
|
The `PATH` environment variable should include `/bin` subdirectory of the profile link (e.g. `~/.nix-profile/bin`) for the user environment to be visible to the user.
|
|
The [installer](@docroot@/installation/installing-binary.md) sets this up by default.
