Name

nix profile list - list packages in the profile

Synopsis

nix profile list [option…]

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/i6i08pl20rh0lm46g38wk3bfnvhdl43d-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/rlgr8vjhcv6v2rv7ljgl0pr6g74r0cg9-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.

Options

•   --json

    Produce output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another program.

•   --no-pretty

    Print compact JSON output on a single line, even when the output is a terminal. Some commands may print multiple JSON objects on separate lines.

                See `--pretty`.

•   --pretty

    Print multi-line, indented JSON output for readability.

                Default: indent if output is to a terminal.
                This option is only effective when `--json` is also specified.

•   --profile path

    The profile to operate on.

  Common evaluation options

•   --arg name expr

    Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

•   --arg-from-file name path

    Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.

•   --arg-from-stdin name

    Pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.

•   --argstr name string

    Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

•   --debugger

    Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

•   --eval-store store-url

    The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store derivations (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.

•   --impure

    Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

•   --include / -I path

    Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths

    This option may be given multiple times.

    Paths added through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.

•   --override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

    Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

  Logging-related options

•   --debug

    Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.

•   --log-format format

    Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.

•   --print-build-logs / -L

    Print full build logs on standard error.

•   --quiet

    Decrease the logging verbosity level.

•   --verbose / -v

    Increase the logging verbosity level.

  Miscellaneous global options

•   --help

    Show usage information.

•   --offline

    Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.

•   --option name value

    Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).

•   --refresh

    Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

•   --repair

    During evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store. During building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.

•   --version

    Show version information.

    Note

    See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.
