Manix is now available in nixpkgs. If you use the unstable channel installing is as easy as adding manix
to your environment.systemPackages
or home.packages
.
Since it can take some time to compile Manix, you can download statically-built executables from Github Releases.
wget https://github.com/mlvzk/manix/releases/latest/download/manix
chmod +x manix
mv manix ~/bin/ # or some other location in your $PATH
# If you have the unstable channel on your system
nix-env -f '<unstable>' -iA manix
# OR
nix-env -i -f https://github.com/mlvzk/manix/archive/master.tar.gz
$ nix run 'github:mlvzk/manix' mapAttrs
