# Description
The install operation creates a new user environment.
The `--install` operation creates a new user environment.
It is based on the current generation of the active [profile](@docroot@/command-ref/files/profiles.md), to which a set of [store paths] described by *args* is added.
[store paths]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path
The arguments *args* map to store paths in a number of possible ways:
- By default, *args* is a set of [derivation] names denoting derivations in the [default Nix expression].
These are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
Currently installed derivations with a name equal to the name of a derivation being added are removed unless the option `--preserve-installed` is specified.
