So Iamm new to nix. I come from fedora and do vfx, which means I need houdini nuke and many other things. They needopticx and cuda working and those apps are not installed via the nix repository, because they are proprietary. How would I go about setting up a houdini install that is at least somewhat reproducible. These apps require some older libraries like libpng. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Houdini is available in nixpkgs, it just isn’t in the binary cache and requires you to download the necessary files (add it via
nix-store --add-fixed sha256 ./houdini-19.5.569-linux_x86_64_gcc9.3.tar.gz). Nuke isn’t, but you can look at the Houdini derivation for reference.
