# Standalone Installation {#ch-standalone-installation}
It is possible to install nvf without depending on NixOS or Home-Manager as the
parent module system, using the `neovimConfiguration` function exposed in the
extended library. This function will take `modules` and `extraSpecialArgs` as
arguments, and return the following schema as a result.
```nix
{
options = "The options that were available to configure";
config = "The outputted configuration";
pkgs = "The package set used to evaluate the module";
neovim = "The built neovim package";
}
```
An example flake that exposes your custom Neovim configuration might look like
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
nvf.url = "github:notashelf/nvf";
};
outputs = {
self,
nixpkgs,
...
} @ inputs: {
packages."x86_64-linux" = let
neovimConfigured = (inputs.nvf.lib.neovimConfiguration {
inherit (nixpkgs.legacyPackages."x86_64-linux") pkgs;
modules = [{
config.vim = {
# Enable custom theming options
theme.enable = true;
# Enable Treesitter
tree-sitter.enable = true;
# Other options will go here. Refer to the config
# reference in Appendix B of the nvf manual.
# ...
};
}];
});
in {
# Set the default package to the wrapped instance of Neovim.
# This will allow running your Neovim configuration with
# `nix run` and in addition, sharing your configuration with
# other users in case your repository is public.
default = neovimConfigured.neovim;
};
};
}
```
<!-- TODO: mention the built-in flake template here when it is added -->
The next two chapters will detail specific usage of standalone nvf
configurations on NixOS and Home-Manager.
