# Preparation steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install a Windows image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Adjust build.nix accordingly
|
||
|
|
2. Run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If in impure mode
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
nix-build build.nix
|
||
|
|
./result
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Results in a file called c.img
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If in pure mode
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
nix-build build.nix
|
||
|
|
ls -la ./result
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Results in a symlink to the image in the nix store
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Impure/pure mode
|
||
|
|
Sometimes it can be useful to build the image _outside_ of the Nix sandbox for debugging purposes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For this purpose we have an attribute called `impureMode` which outputs the shell script used by Nix inside the sandbox to build the image.
