# darwin.builder {#sec-darwin-builder}
`darwin.builder` provides a way to bootstrap a Linux builder on a macOS machine.
This requires macOS version 12.4 or later.
This also requires that port 22 on your machine is free (since Nix does not
permit specifying a non-default SSH port for builders).
You will also need to be a trusted user for your Nix installation. In other
words, your `/etc/nix/nix.conf` should have something like:
```
extra-trusted-users = <your username goes here>
```
To launch the builder, run the following flake:
```ShellSession
$ nix run nixpkgs#darwin.builder
```
That will prompt you to enter your `sudo` password:
```
+ sudo --reset-timestamp /nix/store/…-install-credentials.sh ./keys
Password:
```
… so that it can install a private key used to `ssh` into the build server.
After that the script will launch the virtual machine:
```
<<< Welcome to NixOS 22.11.20220901.1bd8d11 (aarch64) - ttyAMA0 >>>
Run 'nixos-help' for the NixOS manual.
nixos login:
```
> Note: When you need to stop the VM, type `Ctrl`-`a` + `c` to open the `qemu`
> prompt and then type `system_powerdown` followed by `Enter`, or run `shutdown now`
> as the `builder` user (e.g. `ssh -i keys/builder_ed25519 builder@localhost shutdown now`)
To delegate builds to the remote builder, add the following options to your
`nix.conf` file:
```
# - Replace ${ARCH} with either aarch64 or x86_64 to match your host machine
# - Replace ${MAX_JOBS} with the maximum number of builds (pick 4 if you're not sure)
builders = ssh-ng://builder@localhost ${ARCH}-linux /etc/nix/builder_ed25519 ${MAX_JOBS} - - - c3NoLWVkMjU1MTkgQUFBQUMzTnphQzFsWkRJMU5URTVBQUFBSUpCV2N4Yi9CbGFxdDFhdU90RStGOFFVV3JVb3RpQzVxQkorVXVFV2RWQ2Igcm9vdEBuaXhvcwo=
# Not strictly necessary, but this will reduce your disk utilization
builders-use-substitutes = true
```
… and then restart your Nix daemon to apply the change:
```ShellSession
$ sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon
```
