It's not possible to use IHP without Nix. Using nix allows us to make fully reproducable dev environments as all versions (even e.g. the version of postgres used in dev mode) are pinned down. The IHP docs assume no knowledge about nix, so it should still mostly be very simple to get started. We compiled a couple more reasons why IHP uses nix in this blog post: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/blog/2020-07-22-why-ihp-is-using-nix.html https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/blog/2020-07-22-why-ihp-is-... Btw: To give IHP a try without installing Nix you can also try out the official GitPod image here https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-ihp https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-ihp :)
