# NixOS Module {#ch-nixos-module}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The NixOS module allows us to customize the different `vim` options from inside
 | 
						|
the NixOS configuration without having to call for the wrapper yourself. It is
 | 
						|
the recommended way to use **nvf** alongside the home-manager module depending
 | 
						|
on your needs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use it, we first add the input flake.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```nix
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  inputs = {
 | 
						|
    # Optional, if you intend to follow nvf's obsidian-nvim input
 | 
						|
    # you must also add it as a flake input.
 | 
						|
    obsidian-nvim.url = "github:epwalsh/obsidian.nvim";
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Required, nvf works best and only directly supports flakes
 | 
						|
    nvf = {
 | 
						|
      url = "github:notashelf/nvf";
 | 
						|
      # You can override the input nixpkgs to follow your system's
 | 
						|
      # instance of nixpkgs. This is safe to do as nvf does not depend
 | 
						|
      # on a binary cache.
 | 
						|
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
 | 
						|
      # Optionally, you can also override individual plugins
 | 
						|
      # for example:
 | 
						|
      inputs.obsidian-nvim.follows = "obsidian-nvim"; # <- this will use the obsidian-nvim from your inputs
 | 
						|
    };
 | 
						|
  };
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Followed by importing the NixOS module somewhere in your configuration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```nix
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  # assuming nvf is in your inputs and inputs is in the argset
 | 
						|
  # see example below
 | 
						|
  imports = [ inputs.nvf.nixosModules.default ];
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Example Installation {#sec-example-installation-nixos}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```nix
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  inputs = {
 | 
						|
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
 | 
						|
    nvf.url = "github:notashelf/nvf";
 | 
						|
  };
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  outputs = { nixpkgs, nvf, ... }: {
 | 
						|
    # ↓ this is your host output in the flake schema
 | 
						|
    nixosConfigurations."your-hostname" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
 | 
						|
      modules = [
 | 
						|
        nvf.nixosModules.default # <- this imports the NixOS module that provides the options
 | 
						|
        ./configuration.nix # <- your host entrypoint, `programs.nvf.*` may be defined here
 | 
						|
      ];
 | 
						|
    };
 | 
						|
  };
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once the module is properly imported by your host, you will be able to use the
 | 
						|
`programs.nvf` module option anywhere in your configuration in order to
 | 
						|
configure **nvf**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```nix{
 | 
						|
  programs.nvf = {
 | 
						|
    enable = true;
 | 
						|
    # your settings need to go into the settings attribute set
 | 
						|
    # most settings are documented in the appendix
 | 
						|
    settings = {
 | 
						|
      vim.viAlias = false;
 | 
						|
      vim.vimAlias = true;
 | 
						|
      vim.lsp = {
 | 
						|
        enable = true;
 | 
						|
      };
 | 
						|
    };
 | 
						|
  };
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::: {.note}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**nvf** exposes a lot of options, most of which are not referenced in the
 | 
						|
installation sections of the manual. You may find all available options in the
 | 
						|
[appendix](https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/options)
