The title pretty much says it.

I installed NixOS 20.03 in a virtual machine to play a little with it and, if all goes well, install it on my work laptop.

I use Unison's gui, unison-gtk, to keep the laptop and my main production machine in sync. I found the unison package on the search page, but this package does not install unison-gtk, and there seems to be no package for it either. How can I install it?

Thanks in advance.

    Is the gui included with the `unison` package different to what `unison-gtk` would provide? – Robert K. Bell Sep 18 '20 at 23:21

    Thanks for your comment. I think it solves my problem. I had not thought about testing unison with the graphic interface because up until version 2.48.4, which I regularly use in Ubuntu, the unison package does not include a GUI. One needed a separate package for that. The `-ui` option in unison simply tells you that the package only offers a text-based interface. – Jeff Sep 20 '20 at 18:05

In NixOS, the unison package includes a GUI, no need for a separate package.
