The essential commands from the NixOS installer as a package
With this package, you get the commands like nixos-generate-config and
nixos-install that you would otherwise only find on a NixOS system, such
as an installer image.
This way, you can install NixOS using a machine that only has Nix.
It also includes the manpages, which are important because the commands
rely on those for providing --help.
Is called like this since 14321ae2431e33f5ed81f1ee43eddd29c7e9d01d, but
docs were still using the old option in some cases.

not require to be executed by bash.
