NixOS Flakes Installation

flake.nix

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    nix-software-center.url = "git+https://git.oss.uzinfocom.uz/xinux/software-center";
  };

  outputs = inputs@{ self, nixpkgs, nix-software-center }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      workstation = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
        specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
      };
    };
  };
}

configuration.nix

{ inputs, config, lib, pkgs, ... }: # add inputs here
{
...
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    inputs.nix-software-center.packages.${stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.default
    # rest of your packages
  ];
...
}

NixOS Installation

Head of configuration.nix

if you are on unstable channel or any version after 22.11:

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
  nix-software-center = fetchFromForgejo {
      domain = "git.oss.uzinfocom.uz";
      owner = "xinux";
      repo = "software-center";
      tag = finalAttrs.version;
      hash = ""; # add shaa
    };
