nix-env --set - set profile to contain a specified derivation

nix-env --set drvname

The --set operation modifies the current generation of a profile so that it contains exactly the specified derivation, and nothing else.

{{#include ./opt-common.md}}

{{#include ../opt-common.md}}

{{#include ./env-common.md}}

{{#include ../env-common.md}}

The following updates a profile such that its current generation will contain just Firefox:

$ nix-env --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/browser --set firefox
