-<title>Quick Start</title>
-
-<para>This chapter is for impatient people who don't like reading
-documentation.  For more in-depth information you are kindly referred
-to subsequent chapters.</para>
-
-<procedure>
-
-<step><para>Install single-user Nix by running the following:
-
-<screen>
-$ bash &lt;(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
-</screen>
-
-This will install Nix in <filename>/nix</filename>. The install script
-will create <filename>/nix</filename> using <command>sudo</command>,
-so make sure you have sufficient rights.  (For other installation
-methods, see <xref linkend="chap-installation"/>.)</para></step>
-
-<step><para>See what installable packages are currently available
-in the channel:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env -qa
-docbook-xml-4.3
-docbook-xml-4.5
-firefox-33.0.2
-hello-2.9
-libxslt-1.1.28
-<replaceable>...</replaceable></screen>
-
-</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Install some packages from the channel:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env -i hello</screen>
-
-This should download pre-built packages; it should not build them
-locally (if it does, something went wrong).</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Test that they work:
-
-<screen>
-$ which hello
-/home/eelco/.nix-profile/bin/hello
-$ hello
-Hello, world!
-</screen>
-
-</para></step>
-
-<step><para>Uninstall a package:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env -e hello</screen>
-
-</para></step>
-
-<step><para>You can also test a package without installing it:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-shell -p hello
-</screen>
-
-This builds or downloads GNU Hello and its dependencies, then drops
-you into a Bash shell where the <command>hello</command> command is
-present, all without affecting your normal environment:
-
-<screen>
-[nix-shell:~]$ hello
-Hello, world!
-
-[nix-shell:~]$ exit
-
-$ hello
-hello: command not found
-</screen>
-
-</para></step>
-
-<step><para>To keep up-to-date with the channel, do:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-channel --update nixpkgs
-$ nix-env -u '*'</screen>
-
-The latter command will upgrade each installed package for which there
-is a “newer” version (as determined by comparing the version
-numbers).</para></step>
-
-<step><para>If you're unhappy with the result of a
-<command>nix-env</command> action (e.g., an upgraded package turned
-out not to work properly), you can go back:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env --rollback</screen>
-
-</para></step>
-
-<step><para>You should periodically run the Nix garbage collector
-to get rid of unused packages, since uninstalls or upgrades don't
-actually delete them:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-collect-garbage -d</screen>
-
-<!--
-The first command deletes old “generations” of your profile (making
-rollbacks impossible, but also making the packages in those old
-generations available for garbage collection), while the second
-command actually deletes them.-->
