Thanks to [mhdi](https://aur.archlinux.org/account/mhdi) for taking care of AUR package maintenance.

### NixOS

- Install via `nix-shell`
  ```bash
  nix-shell -p libation
  ```
  A `nix-shell` will temporarily modify your $PATH environment variable. This can be used to try a piece of software before deciding to permanently install it.
- Install via NixOS configuration
  ```nix
  environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.libation
  ];
  ```
  Add the following Nix code to your NixOS Configuration, usually located in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`
- On NixOS via via `nix-env`
  ```bash
  nix-env -iA nixos.libation
  ```
- On Non NixOS via `nix-env`

  ```Console
  nix-env -iA nixpkgs.libation
  ```

  Warning: Using `nix-env` permanently modifies a local profile of installed packages. This must be updated and maintained by the user in the same way as with a traditional package manager.

### Pacstall

Pacstall is the AUR Ubuntu wishes it had. It takes the concept of the AUR and puts a spin on it, making it easier to install programs without scouring github repos and the likes. See the [Pacstall](https://pacstall.dev/) project for more information.

```bash
pacstall -I libation-deb
```
