Name
nix profile upgrade
- upgrade packages using their most recent flake
Synopsis
nix profile upgrade
[option...] elements...
Examples
-
Upgrade all packages that were installed using a mutable flake reference:
# nix profile upgrade '.*'
-
Upgrade a specific package:
# nix profile upgrade packages.x86_64-linux.hello
-
Upgrade a specific profile element by number:
# nix profile list 0 flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.spotify … # nix profile upgrade 0
Description
This command upgrades a previously installed package in a Nix profile, by fetching and evaluating the latest version of the flake from which the package was installed.
Warning
This only works if you used a mutable flake reference at installation time, e.g.
nixpkgs#hello
. It does not work if you used an immutable flake reference (e.g.github:NixOS/nixpkgs/13d0c311e3ae923a00f734b43fd1d35b47d8943a#hello
), since in that case the "latest version" is always the same.
Options
-
--debugger
start an interactive environment if evaluation fails -
--profile
path
The profile to update.
Common evaluation options:
-
--arg
name expr
Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions. -
--argstr
name string
Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions. -
--eval-store
store-url
The Nix store to use for evaluations. -
--impure
Allow access to mutable paths and repositories. -
--include
/-I
path
Add path to the list of locations used to look up<...>
file names. -
--override-flake
original-ref resolved-ref
Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.
Common flake-related options:
-
--commit-lock-file
Commit changes to the flake's lock file. -
--inputs-from
flake-url
Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries. -
--no-registries
Don't allow lookups in the flake registries. This option is deprecated; use--no-use-registries
. -
--no-update-lock-file
Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file. -
--no-write-lock-file
Do not write the flake's newly generated lock file. -
--override-input
input-path flake-url
Override a specific flake input (e.g.dwarffs/nixpkgs
). This implies--no-write-lock-file
. -
--recreate-lock-file
Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch. -
--update-input
input-path
Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).
Options that change the interpretation of installables:
-
--derivation
Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs. -
--expr
expr
Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression expr. -
--file
/-f
file
Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression stored in file. If file is the character -, then a Nix expression will be read from standard input. Implies--impure
.
