I want to use Plasma-manager in my system. I have enabled flakes in configurations. Now what to do to use it. The output generated by tool rc2nix can be copied through terminal but when i put that in home.nix , it says that plasma is not available which is true but then how do I use this tool. flake file.

    Thank you for help. so now I have flake.nix and home.nix in ~/.config/home-manager. flake.nix looks like

    `{ description = “Plasma Manager Example”;

    inputs = { # Specify the source of Home Manager and Nixpkgs home-manager.url = “github:nix-community/home-manager”; nixpkgs.url = “github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable”; home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = “nixpkgs”;

    plasma-manager. url = "github:pjones/plasma-manager";
    plasma-manager. inputs. nixpkgs. follows = "nixpkgs";
    plasma-manager. inputs. home-manager. follows = "home-manager";
    

    };

    outputs = { home-manager , plasma-manager , nixpkgs , … }: let system = “x86_64-linux”; username = “naresh”; in { homeConfigurations.${username} = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration { pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; # extraModules = [ # plasma-manager.homeManagerModules.plasma-manager # ];

        modules = [
          # ./home.nix
          # {
          #   home = {
          #     inherit username;
          #     homeDirectory = "/home/${username}";
          #     # Update the state version as needed.
          #     stateVersion = "23.05";
          #   };
    
    
          # },
          plasma-manager.homeManagerModules.plasma-manager
    
        ];
    
    
      };
      devShells.${system}.default =
        let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; }; in
        pkgs.mkShell {
          buildInputs = [
            home-manager.packages.${system}.home-manager
          ];
        };
    };
    

    } `

    and home.nix looks like

    { config, pkgs, plasma-manager, ... }:
    
    {
      # Home Manager needs a bit of information about you and the paths it should
      # manage.
      home.username = "naresh";
      home.homeDirectory = "/home/naresh";
    
      # This value determines the Home Manager release that your configuration is
      # compatible with. This helps avoid breakage when a new Home Manager release
      # introduces backwards incompatible changes.
      #
      # You should not change this value, even if you update Home Manager. If you do
      # want to update the value, then make sure to first check the Home Manager
      # release notes.
      home.stateVersion = "23.05"; # Please read the comment before changing.
    
    
      imports = [ plasma-manager.homeManagerModules.plasma-manager ];
    
      # The home.packages option allows you to install Nix packages into your
      # environment.
      home.packages = with pkgs; [
        alacritty

        # # It is sometimes useful to fine-tune packages, for example, by applying

        # # fonts?
        # (pkgs.nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "FantasqueSansMono" ]; })
    
        # # You can also create simple shell scripts directly inside your
        # # configuration. For example, this adds a command 'my-hello' to your

        # '')
      ]; #) ++ ([(builtins.getFlake "github:pjones/plasma-manager")]);
    
      # Home Manager is pretty good at managing dotfiles. The primary way to manage
      # plain files is through 'home.file'.
      home.file = {
        # # Building this configuration will create a copy of 'dotfiles/screenrc' in
        # # the Nix store. Activating the configuration will then make '~/.screenrc' a

        # ".screenrc".source = dotfiles/screenrc;
    
        # # You can also set the file content immediately.

      home.sessionVariables = {
        # EDITOR = "emacs";
      };
    
      # Let Home Manager install and manage itself.
      programs.home-manager.enable = true;
    
      programs.plasma = {
        enable = true;
    
        # Some high-level settings:
        workspace.clickItemTo = "select";
    
        hotkeys.commands."Launch Konsole" = {
          key = "Meta+Alt+K";
          command = "konsole";
        };
    
        # Some mid-level settings:
        shortcuts = {
          ksmserver = {
            "Lock Session" = [ "Screensaver" "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+L" ];
          };
    
          kwin = {
            "Expose" = "Meta+,";
            "Switch Window Down" = "Meta+J";
            "Switch Window Left" = "Meta+H";
            "Switch Window Right" = "Meta+L";
            "Switch Window Up" = "Meta+K";
          };
        };
    
        # A low-level setting:
        configFile."baloofilerc"."Basic Settings"."Indexing-Enabled" = false;
      };
    }
    
    
    
    

    and when I run home-manager switch --flake ~/.config/home-manager/ It gives me

    `error: … while evaluating a branch condition

    `

    Now don’t know what to do. I got your latter advice regarding diff but first I need to make this work. I am on unstable nixos version. and

    home-manager --version gives 23.11-pre

    nixos-version gives 23.11pre546599.e44462d6021b (Tapir)

      The problem seems to be that home.stateVersion is not set because you commented out both the declaration in flake.nix as well as the line that imports home.nix. It’s a bit difficult to see whether the config is otherwise fine since there is a lot of visual clutter due to all the commented-out lines.
