Cachix manages the prebuilt binaries used by IHP. If you don't install Cachix, nix will compile a lot of IHP's dependencies from scratch. This takes a long while and is not recommended.
- SomeoneEsle123 4y agoIt manages the prebuilt binaries...but requires being run as root or adding myself to the list of Nix trustedUsers...on an OS level. Both of those things are scary and dangerous. I don't know what your software or Cachix is doing. Can you tell me exactly what it will be doing to my system? What changes? Does it use a lot of disk space? Is it easy to undo? And is there anyone who recommends doing it who isn't associated to IHP?
