Nix pills might be a good start if you want to understand how all the pieces fit together. https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills.

There is nix, the language/package manager which can be used standalone; nixpkgs, the ports or homebrew like repo of packages that can be built/run on many systems including macOS; and nixos, the Linux+Nix distro that puts it all together.

Thanks. I've already installed nix/nix-darwin and tried installing wireshark, but it isn't working for some reason. I have some reading to do.
