Installing with Nix
Follow these steps to install Quickstrom using Nix.
Prerequisites
Nix (see nix.dev for installation instructions and guides)
Installing with Nix
To install the quickstrom
executable, use Cachix and Nix to get the
executable:
$ cachix use quickstrom
$ nix-env -iA quickstrom -f https://github.com/quickstrom/quickstrom/tarball/main
Note
If the installation fails with “too many open files”, see How do I set the ulimit in a nix build shell?.
Verify that Quickstrom is now available in your environment:
$ quickstrom version
You need to run a WebDriver server for Quickstrom checks to work. This user documentation mostly uses GeckoDriver and Firefox, but you can use other browsers and WebDriver servers.
Install GeckoDriver using Nix:
$ nix-env -i geckodriver
You’re now ready to check webapps using Quickstrom.
