2. Realise its [output paths]:
- Try to fetch from [substituters] the [store objects] associated with the output paths in the store derivation's [closure].
- With [content-addressed derivations] (experimental): Determine the output paths to realise by querying content-addressed realisation entries in the [Nix database].
- For any store paths that cannot be substituted, produce the required store objects by first realising all outputs of the derivation's dependencies and then running the derivation's [`builder`](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-builder) executable.

If no substitutes are available and no store derivation is given, realisation fails.

Ensure a [store path] is [valid][validity].
