Examples

  • 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.

Description

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.
