Description

AMC has been packaged for Nix/NixOS, and has been submitted as a PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/143160

Maybe it would be nice to add a page to the site with Nix(OS) installation instructions, but not before, of course, the package reaches unstable.

Because of the way Nix works (no HFS), it's less easy to expose the .sty file to the latex install than on other systems. There are instructions on the package, but I think I'll also add a simple wrapper, say latex-with-amc or something, to run arbitrary program with TEXINPUTS extended with the path to automultiplechoice.sty.

Please tell us when this will be the case.

Maybe you can add a wiki page for Nix, and I'll make a link from the website to it.

AMC is now on NixOS unstable. It doubt it will be part of the 21.11 stable release due this month, so its first stable will probably be 22.05 (versions are YY.MM)

Will do when I find the time, hopefully this or next week.
