## Introduction

This guide will explain how to install NixOS on the internal NVMe drive of an M1/Pro/Max/Ultra Mac using a customized version of the official NixOS install ISO, then boot it without the help of another computer. Aside from the M1 support module and AArch64 CPU, the resulting installation can be configured and operated like any other NixOS system. Your macOS install will still work normally, and you can easily switch between booting both macOS and NixOS.
