Warp Terminal on NixOS with Flake or Non-Flake Setup

This guide shows how to add the Warp Terminal package to your NixOS configuration using an overlay.
You can apply this either in your system-wide configuration.nix or in your per-user Home Manager configuration.

---

0. Clone the repo into a path you would like

chmod +X warp-latest.sh
Run - warp-latest.sh
./warp-latest.sh

This will take about a minute if your internet fast - downloading warp-terminal for updating HASHES in versions.json for completing the build and update locally.

1. Adding the Overlay

Add the following snippet to your configuration:

nixpkgs.overlays = [
  (self: super: {
    warp-terminal = super.callPackage ./warp/package.nix { };
  })
];

Where to Put This Snippet

• System-wide (configuration.nix):
  Place it inside the nixpkgs section of your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
  This will make warp-terminal available to all users on the system.

• User profile (Home Manager):
  Place it inside your home.nix (or home-manager config).
  This makes the package available only for your user.

2. Adding Warp Terminal to Packages

After defining the overlay, you need to add warp-terminal to your package list:

• In configuration.nix:

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    warp-terminal
  ];

• In Home Manager (home.nix):

  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    warp-terminal
  ];

---

3. Apply Configuration

After updating your configuration, rebuild:

• System-wide:

  sudo nixos-rebuild switch

• Home Manager only:

  home-manager switch

---

Summary

1. Add the overlay snippet to either configuration.nix or home-manager config.
2. Add warp-terminal to the appropriate package list.
3. Rebuild your system or Home Manager config.

Now warp-terminal will be available for you to run! 🚀
