NTIX

nix-like package management for Windows.

Declare your desired packages in Lua. NTIX figures out what to install, upgrade, and remove across winget, Chocolatey, and Scoop, plus arbitrary config files (dotfiles, settings) managed declaratively.

Quick Start

1. Install NTIX or build from source
2. Create a config.lua:

local options = {
    winget = { enable = true, acceptAgreements = true },
    chocolatey = { enable = true, yes = true },
    scoop = { enable = true, buckets = { "main", "extras" } }
}

local pkgs = {}
pkgs.winget = { "Google.Chrome", "7zip.7zip" }
pkgs.chocolatey = { "ripgrep" }
pkgs.scoop = { "fd", "bat" }

return { options = options, pkgs = pkgs }

3. ntix diff config.lua — preview what would change
4. ntix apply config.lua — apply changes (requires admin)

Roadmap

• Arbitrary config files — manage dotfiles, shell configs, and system settings declaratively (like NixOS Home Manager) Added in v2.1.0
• Windows optional features — enable/disable Hyper-V, OpenSSH, WSL, and other Windows features
• Nix-shells — temporary environments with specific packages for your current session
