All you have to do is to flash the installer image into the flash drive and boot with the drive (with the disabled secure boot).
Then run the following command in the shell as root.
[NOTE]
====
For this example, we'll assume you're installing my desktop configuration which is at `nixosConfigurations.ni`.
====
Next, we'll partition the disk of the system.
This is already handled for us since this project uses xref:../../04-nixos-modules/03-disko/index.adoc[disko modules].
Just run the following command as root.
[source, shell]
----
nix run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko ./hosts/ni/disko.nix --arg disks '[ "/dev/nvme0n1" ]'
----
Then install the NixOS configuration (also as root).
[source, shell, subs=attributes]
----
nixos-install --flake {canonical-flake-url}#INSTALLABLE
----
Take note most systems have an additional prerequisites such as activating xref:../../04-nixos-modules/03-disko/index.adoc[disko modules] and the private keys that are missing (and other stuff as mentioned from xref:../05-what-should-not-be-here/index.adoc[What should not be here?]).
Despite being a NixOS system, it isn't entirely reproducible to the point of installing this config will work out-of-the-box.
It has some things needed in the first place to work like my external backup setup where it needs my SSH private keys to work in the first place.
You can see more details from xref:../05-what-should-not-be-here/index.adoc[What should not be here?].
