How to Install asdf with Nix Home-manager

1. First, add asdf to the Nix configuration with the package named asdf-vm. Add the following line to your configuration.nix file:

   environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
     asdf-vm
   ];

2. Next, add the following lines to your .bashrc file:

   . "$HOME/.nix-profile/share/asdf-vm/asdf.sh"
   . "$HOME/.nix-profile/share/bash-completion/completions/asdf.bash"

   These lines will load asdf into your shell.

3. Reload your .bashrc or open a new terminal to apply the changes.

4. Verify that asdf is properly installed by running the following command:

   asdf --version

   This should output the version number of asdf.

That's it! Now you can use asdf with Nix.

for me, i had to load bashcompinit on zsh to make it work:

  programs.zsh = {
    enable = true;
    initExtra = ''
      . "${pkgs.asdf-vm}/share/asdf-vm/asdf.sh"
      autoload -Uz bashcompinit && bashcompinit
      . "${pkgs.asdf-vm}/share/asdf-vm/completions/asdf.bash"
    '';
  };

The latest asdf-vm in nixpkgs is 0.15, is there a way to install the latest version (eg: 0.18)?
