Any options other than Nix? #243

Don't get me wrong, the Nix install worked great on my main development machine. But I just got a Pinebook Pro to use as a distraction-free writing machine. It's good enough for text editing but not video or video games. :-)

The problem is that it only comes with a 64GB root volume.

The install step of

nix-env -iA cachix -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/install

fills up the root volume while installing GHC, then aborts and reverts.

I'd like to use neuron on that little box. Is there an option to get the binary without unpacking more than 40 GB of software? (I fully recognize that I am a Nix-noob and may be doing something wrong.) I can't just copy the binary from my other machine because one is x86-64 while the Pinebook is Aarch64.
