We present a case study on improving the reproducibility of preCICE, an open-source coupling library, and some of its main adapters using Nix and NixOS. Using this approach, we demonstrate how to create a reproducible and self-contained environment for preCICE and highlight the benefits of using Nix and NixOS for managing software and system configurations, resulting in improved reproducibility. - In addition, we compare the performance and usability of Nix with two widely used high-performance computing (HPC) solutions, Spack and EasyBuild. + In addition, we compare the usability and reproducibility provided by Nix, in the context of preCICE, with two already established high-performance computing (HPC) solutions, Spack and EasyBuild. This evaluation enables us to assess the advantages and disadvantages of employing Nix to improve reproducibility in scientific software development within an HPC context. \end{abstract}
