In the first episode of a series titled "Build A Portable Development Environment" we get setup with Nix, a cross-platform package manager. I show you how to setup Nix from the command line and install a few packages including zsh, git and more.

We will also build a custom install script that you can run in the future if you setup a new computer. This script will handle all of the installation and setup you need, so you don't have to worry about configuring packages ever again!

Watch the next video in the series on Zsh!
