my configuration.nix has this line:
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;If you're using an additional nixpkgs, (I have both 24.11 and unstable) there's another syntax for that, depending on whether you use flakes. Anyway the above should work, flakes or not.
If not, post the error you're getting.
The error I'm getting is " syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting end of file
Probably you're putting the code in the wrong place.
Maybe try searching GitHub for example code, lots of people put their configs on there. Or if you post your whole config file someone can probably help
TYSM IT WORKED
It goes in a module inside the attrset braces where other options are also set. configuration.nix already has that.
Actually, post your code. That way we don’t have to guess.
