nix profile list - list installed
packages
nix profile list
[option…]
- •
- Show what packages are installed in the default profile:
# nix profile list
Name: gdb
Flake attribute: legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.gdb
Original flake URL: flake:nixpkgs
Locked flake URL: github:NixOS/nixpkgs/7b38b03d76ab71bdc8dc325e3f6338d984cc35ca
Store paths: /nix/store/indzcw5wvlhx6vwk7k4iq29q15chvr3d-gdb-11.1
Name: blender-bin
Flake attribute: packages.x86_64-linux.default
Original flake URL: flake:blender-bin
Locked flake URL: github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender
Store paths: /nix/store/i798sxl3j40wpdi1rgf391id1b5klw7g-blender-bin-3.1.2
- Note that you can unambiguously rebuild a package from a profile through
its locked flake URL and flake attribute, e.g.
# nix build github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender#packages.x86_64-linux.default
- will build the package blender-bin shown
above.
This command shows what packages are currently installed in a
profile. For each installed package, it shows the following information:
- Name: A unique name used to unambiguously identify
the package in invocations of nix profile remove
and nix profile
upgrade.
- Index: An integer that can be used to
unambiguously identify the package in invocations of nix
profile remove and nix profile upgrade.
(Deprecated, will be removed in a future version in favor of
Name.)
- Flake attribute: The flake output attribute path
that provides the package (e.g.
packages.x86_64-linux.hello).
- Original flake URL: The original
(“unlocked”) flake reference specified by the user when the
package was first installed via nix
profile install.
- Locked flake URL: The locked flake reference to
which the original flake reference was resolved.
- Store paths: The store path(s) of the
package.
