In Pill 3, Enter the Environment, all the links to the nix reference manual are dead links

nix-pills/pills/03-enter-environment.md

Line 39 in 42532b0

- The [nix-env](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-env.html) tool manages environments, profiles and their generations.

Line 65 in 42532b0

Let's inspect the [profile](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/package-management/profiles.html) a bit:

nix-pills/pills/03-enter-environment.md

Line 109 in 42532b0

You can of course also [ uninstall](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-env.html#operation---uninstall) and [upgrade](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-env.html#operation---upgrade) packages.

So where are we getting packages from? We said something about this already in the [second article](02-install-on-your-running-system.md). There's a list of channels from which we get packages, although usually we use a single channel. The tool to manage channels is [nix-channel](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-channel.html).

We learned how to query the user environment and to manipulate it by installing and uninstalling software. Upgrading software is also straightforward, as you can read in [the manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-env.html#operation---upgrade) (`nix-env -u` will upgrade all packages in the environment).

The issue seem to be the use of "/stable" in the path. When removed the links work

There is also a dead link in pill 4 (I haven't searched for more).
