A *substituter* is an additional store from which Nix will
copy store objects it doesn't have. For details, see the
[`substituters` option](./command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters).
An additional [store]{#gloss-store} from which Nix can obtain store objects instead of building them.
Often the substituter is a [binary cache](#gloss-binary-cache), but any store can serve as substituter.
See the [`substituters` configuration option](./command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) for details.
