# Running on Nix
## Putting it in your system configuration
### On flakes-enabled nix
#### Directly installing
The `prismlauncher` flake provides a package which you can install along with
the rest of your packages
```nix
# In your flake.nix:
{
inputs = {
prismlauncher.url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
};
}
```
```nix
# And in your system configuration:
environment.systemPackages = [ prismlauncher.packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher ];
# Or in your home-manager configuration:
home.packages = [ prismlauncher.packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher ];
```
#### Using the overlay
Alternatively, you can overlay the prismlauncher version in nixpkgs which will
allow you to install using `pkgs` as you normally would while also using the
latest version
```nix
# In your flake.nix:
{
inputs = {
prismlauncher.url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
};
}
```
```nix
# And in your system configuration:
nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.prismlauncher.overlay ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.prismlauncher ];
# Or in your home-manager configuration:
config.nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.prismlauncher.overlay ];
home.packages = [ pkgs.prismlauncher ];
```
### Without flakes-enabled nix
<details>
<summary>Using channels</summary>
```sh
nix-channel --add https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/master.tar.gz prismlauncher
nix-channel --update prismlauncher
nix-env -iA prismlauncher
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Using the overlay</summary>
```nix
# In your configuration.nix:
{
nixpkgs.overlays = [
(import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/develop.tar.gz")).overlay
];
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ prismlauncher ];
}
```
</details>
## Running ad-hoc
If you're on a flakes-enabled nix you can run the launcher in one-line
```sh
nix run github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher
```

# Prism Launcher Nix Packaging
## Installing a stable release (nixpkgs)
Prism Launcher is packaged in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/) since 22.11.
See [Package variants](#package-variants) for a list of available packages.
## Installing a development release (flake)
We use [garnix](https://garnix.io/) to build and cache our development builds.
If you want to avoid rebuilds you may add the garnix cache to your substitutors.
Example (NixOS):
```nix
{...}:
{
nix.settings = {
trusted-substituters = [
"https://cache.garnix.io"
];
trusted-public-keys = [
"cache.garnix.io:CTFPyKSLcx5RMJKfLo5EEPUObbA78b0YQ2DTCJXqr9g="
];
};
}
```
### Using the overlay
After adding `github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher` to your flake inputs, you can add the `default` overlay to your nixpkgs instance.
Example:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
prismlauncher = {
url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
# Optional: Override the nixpkgs input of prismlauncher to use the same revision as the rest of your flake
# Note that overriding any input of prismlauncher may break reproducibility
# inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = {nixpkgs, prismlauncher}: {
nixosConfigurations.foo = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
({pkgs, ...}: {
nixpkgs.overlays = [prismlauncher.overlays.default];
environment.systemPackages = [pkgs.prismlauncher];
})
];
};
}
}
```
### Installing the package directly
Alternatively, if you don't want to use an overlay, you can install Prism Launcher directly by installing the `prismlauncher` package.
This way the installed package is fully reproducible.
Example:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
prismlauncher = {
url = "github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher";
# Optional: Override the nixpkgs input of prismlauncher to use the same revision as the rest of your flake
# Note that overriding any input of prismlauncher may break reproducibility
# inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = {nixpkgs, prismlauncher}: {
nixosConfigurations.foo = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
({pkgs, ...}: {
environment.systemPackages = [prismlauncher.packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher];
})
];
};
}
}
```
### Installing the package ad-hoc (`nix shell`, `nix run`, etc.)
You can simply call the default package of this flake.
Example:
```shell
nix run github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher
nix shell github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher
nix profile install github:PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher
```
## Installing a development release (without flakes)
We use [garnix](https://garnix.io/) to build and cache our development builds.
If you want to avoid rebuilds you may add the garnix cache to your substitutors.
Example (NixOS):
```nix
{...}:
{
nix.settings = {
trusted-substituters = [
"https://cache.garnix.io"
];
trusted-public-keys = [
"cache.garnix.io:CTFPyKSLcx5RMJKfLo5EEPUObbA78b0YQ2DTCJXqr9g="
];
};
}
```
### Using the overlay (`fetchTarball`)
We use flake-compat to allow using this Flake on a system that doesn't use flakes.
Example:
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: {
nixpkgs.overlays = [(import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/develop.tar.gz")).overlays.default];
environment.systemPackages = [pkgs.prismlauncher];
}
```
### Installing the package directly (`fetchTarball`)
Alternatively, if you don't want to use an overlay, you can install Prism Launcher directly by installing the `prismlauncher` package.
This way the installed package is fully reproducible.
Example:
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: {
environment.systemPackages = [(import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/develop.tar.gz")).packages.${pkgs.system}.prismlauncher];
}
```
### Installing the package ad-hoc (`nix-env`)
You can add this repository as a channel and install its packages that way.
Example:
```shell
nix-channel --add https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/archive/develop.tar.gz prismlauncher
nix-channel --update prismlauncher
nix-env -iA prismlauncher.prismlauncher
```
## Package variants
Both Nixpkgs and this repository offer the following packages:
- `prismlauncher` - Preferred build using Qt 6
- `prismlauncher-qt5` - Legacy build using Qt 5 (i.e. for Qt 5 theming support)
Both of these packages also have `-unwrapped` counterparts, that are not wrapped and can therefore be customized even further than what the wrapper packages offer.
### Customizing wrapped packages
The wrapped packages (`prismlauncher` and `prismlauncher-qt5`) offer some build parameters to further customize the launcher's environment.
The following parameters can be overridden:
- `msaClientID` (default: `null`, requires full rebuild!) Client ID used for Microsoft Authentication
- `gamemodeSupport` (default: `true`) Turn on/off support for [Feral GameMode](https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode)
- `jdks` (default: `[ jdk17 jdk8 ]`) Java runtimes added to `PRISMLAUNCHER_JAVA_PATHS` variable
- `additionalLibs` (default: `[ ]`) Additional libraries that will be added to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
