I am getting...
error: experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features flakes' to override
...when trying to run nix-shell from plutus-apps repo.
Does anybody know how I can enable flakes?
I am using the latest commit 7952b9d30d15779a7fd8103bdbc9612d5df18ec2.
There are two ways of fixing this issue:
Temporary
Add --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' when calling the nix-shell command.
Permanent
Edit either ~/.config/nix/nix.conf or /etc/nix/nix.conf and add:
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
