-     Variants of <literal>runCommand</literal> and <literal>runCommandCC</literal> that force the derivation to be built locally, it is not substituted. This is intended for very cheap commands (&lt;1s execution time). It saves on the network roundrip and can speed up a build.

       This sets <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#adv-attr-allowSubstitutes"><literal>allowSubstitutes</literal> to <literal>false</literal></link>, so only use <literal>runCommandLocal</literal> if you are certain the user will always have a builder for the <literal>system</literal> of the derivation. This should be true for most trivial use cases (e.g. just copying some files to a different location or adding symlinks), because there the <literal>system</literal> is usually the same as <literal>builtins.currentSystem</literal>.
