So apparently Nix can just, like, transparently fetch whatever thing you're trying to run if it isn't installed on your system yet. What

@joepie91 ok now to have a config that's just running the minimum commands that are dependent on everything you want installed (i'm 90% sure that's how nix does things more or less)

@teh_dude Ah, if you mean having everything you *actually* want installed as transitive dependencies, then that wouldn't work - NIX_AUTO_RUN uses nix-shell, which is ephemeral, so the dependencies don't get installed to your global system environment (plus the bin/ etc. wouldn't be exposed in PATH for transitive dependencies anyway)
