Name

       nix profile list - list installed packages

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/indzcw5wvlhx6vwk7k4iq29q15chvr3d-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/i798sxl3j40wpdi1rgf391id1b5klw7g-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.

       •  --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.
