Nix[1] says hi. [1]: https://nixos.org/nix/ https://nixos.org/nix/

  Nix now can download and install binaries into a home directory? I thought it would require quite a bit of work on a building process and binary patching post installation, since you know, a lot of things require absolute paths, like an elf interpreter for example.

    As far as I'm aware any user (regardless of whether they have root) can install/update/delete packages when Nix is run in multi-user mode[0]. [0]: https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-nix-security https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-nix-security

    The NixOS way would be to install binaries at the system directories, but for your user only. I don't know if this is possible with plain Nix (not the OS).
