There is a wall of text but how much stuff has happened?
<!--more-->
A lot of stuff scrolls past telling X packages have been built but gives no idea about the progress. Pass `--log-format bar-wth-logs` to `nix-env`.
```
nix-env --log-format bar-with-logs -iA nixpkgs.<package>
```
It will put a nice status in the bottom telling about how much packages have been downloaded and built and how much is left.
I tried putting the option in the config file but it did not work. I could not find the relevant documentation for it either.
