# Home Manager {#ch-hm-module}
The Home Manager module allows us to customize the different `vim` options from inside the home-manager configuration
and it is the preferred way of configuring neovim-flake, both on NixOS and non-NixOS systems.
To use it, we first add the input flake.
```nix
{
inputs = {
obsidian-nvim.url = "github:epwalsh/obsidian.nvim";
neovim-flake = {
url = "github:notashelf/neovim-flake";
# you can override input nixpkgs
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
# you can also override individual plugins
# for example:
inputs.obsidian-nvim.follows = "obsidian-nvim"; # <- this will use the obsidian-nvim from your inputs
};
};
}
```
Followed by importing the home-manager module somewhere in your configuration.
```nix
{
# assuming neovim-flake is in your inputs and inputs is in the argset
imports = [ inputs.neovim-flake.homeManagerModules.default ];
}
```
An example installation for neovim-flake under standalone home-manager
would look like this:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
neovim-flake.url = "github:notashelf/neovim-flake";
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, neovim-flake ... }: let
system = "x86_64-linux"; in {
# ↓ this is the home-manager output in the flake schema
homeConfigurations."yourUsername»" = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
modules = [
neovim-flake.homeManagerModules.default # <- this imports the home-manager module that provides the options
./home.nix # your home-manager configuration, probably where you will want to add programs.neovim-flake options
];
};
};
}
```
Once the module is imported, we will be able to define the following options (and much more) from inside the
home-manager configuration.
```nix{
programs.neovim-flake = {
enable = true;
# your settings need to go into the settings attribute set
# most settings are documented in the appendix
settings = {
vim.viAlias = false;
vim.vimAlias = true;
vim.lsp = {
enable = true;
};
};
};
}
```
