For most users, the instructions on [the main page ](../guide/#🚀-installation ) will work great. However, for some more specialized platforms, different instructions are needed.

### Getting the Binary
#### Imperatively
```sh
nix-env -iA nixos.starship
```
#### Declarative, single user, via [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager)
Enable the `programs.starship` module in your `home.nix` file, and add your settings
```nix
{
programs.starship = {
enable = true;
# Configuration written to ~/.config/starship.toml
settings = {
# add_newline = false;
# character = {
# success_symbol = "[➜](bold green)";
# error_symbol = "[➜](bold red)";
# };
# package.disabled = true;
};
};
}
```
then run
```sh
home-manager switch
```
#### Declarative, system-wide, with NixOS
Add `pkgs.starship` to `environment.systemPackages` in your `configuration.nix` , then run
```sh
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
```
