<title>Basic package management</title>
<para>
Let's start from the perspective of an end-user. Common operations at
this level are to install and remove packages, ask what packages are
installed or available for installation, and so on.
</para>
<para>
To install packages, a <emphasis>Nix expression</emphasis> is required
that tells Nix how to build that package. There is a <ulink
url='https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/dist/trace/trace-nixpkgs-trunk.tar.bz2'>standard
distribution of Nix expressions</ulink> for many common packages.
