programs.command-not-found.enable

Whether interactive shells should show which Nix package (if any) provides a missing command.

Requires nix-channels to be set and downloaded (sudo nix-channel --update.)

See also nix-index and nix-index-database as an alternative for flakes-based systems.

Additionally, having the env var NIX_AUTO_RUN set will automatically run the matching package, and with NIX_AUTO_RUN_INTERACTIVE it will confirm the package before running.
