Build and run from source with Nix
-------------------------------------------
On NixOS or any other Linux or macOS system with the Nix package manager installed,
execute ``./nix-shell`` to create the correct environment to build kitty or use
``./nix-shell --pure`` instead to eliminate most of the influence of the outside system,
e.g. globally installed packages. ``nix-shell`` will automatically fetch all required
dependencies and make them available in the newly spawned shell.
