Follow these steps to install Quickstrom using Nix.
Prerequisites
Nix (see nix.dev for installation instructions and guides)
Installing with Nix
To install the quickstrom
executable, use Cachix and Nix to get the
executable:
$ cachix use quickstrom
$ nix-env -iA quickstrom -f https://github.com/quickstrom/quickstrom/tarball/main
If you’re on Darwin, you’re probably going to have problems with Firefox and Chrome from nixpkgs. You can exclude browsers from the Quickstrom environment and provide them on your own, e.g. through Homebrew. If you want to do this, override it with this command:
$ nix-env -iA quickstrom -f https://github.com/quickstrom/quickstrom/tarball/main \
--arg includeBrowsers false
Verify that Quickstrom is now available in your environment:
$ quickstrom --help
You’re now ready to check webapps using Quickstrom.
