Nix is a way to create reproducible builds and deployments.
You can use Nix on any Linux/Darwin distribution or even it's own distribution NixOS
A build (default.nix) is included, and you can easily install esesc
via running nix build within the directory or install it by doing:
nix run -f https://github.com/masc-ucsc/esesc/archive/master.tar.gz --command esesc
