# Testing the Installer {#ch-testing-installer} |
||||
|
||||
Building, burning, and booting from an installation CD is rather |
||||
tedious, so here is a quick way to see if the installer works properly: |
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession |
||||
# mount -t tmpfs none /mnt |
||||
# nixos-generate-config --root /mnt |
||||
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.nixos-install |
||||
# ./result/bin/nixos-install |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
To start a login shell in the new NixOS installation in `/mnt`: |
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession |
||||
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.nixos-enter |
||||
# ./result/bin/nixos-enter |
||||
``` |
