# Determinate Nix
|
|
|
|
[](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
|
|
|
|
This repository houses the source for [**Determinate Nix**][det-nix], a downstream distribution of [Nix][upstream] created and maintained by [Determinate Systems][detsys].
|
|
Nix is a powerful [language], [package manager][package-management], and [CLI] for [macOS](#macos), [Linux](linux), and other Unix systems that enables you to create fully reproducible [development environments][envs], to build [packages] in sandboxed environments, to build entire Linux systems using [NixOS], and much more.
|
|
|
|
Determinate Nix is part of the [Determinate platform][determinate], which also includes [FlakeHub], a secure flake repository with features like [FlakeHub Cache][cache], [private flakes][private-flakes], and [semantic versioning][semver] (SemVer) for [flakes].
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Other resources
|
|
|
|
Nix was created by [Eelco Dolstra][eelco] and developed as the subject of his 2006 PhD thesis, [The Purely Functional Software Deployment Model][thesis].
|
|
Today, a worldwide developer community contributes to Nix and the ecosystem that has grown around it.
|
|
|
|
- [Zero to Nix][z2n], Determinate Systems' guide to Nix and [flakes] for beginners
|
|
- [Nixpkgs], a collection of well over 100,000 software packages that you can build and manage using Nix
|
|
- [NixOS] is a Linux distribution that can be configured fully declaratively
|
|
