I'm really sorry if this is not the conventional way to describe an issue, but I just spent the whole day all day trying to figure out a way to successfully install nix and nix-darwin on my mac, guess what I'm not even close. After countless failures. I decided to start from scratch and uninstalled everything as the nix reference manual says and tried to install nix fresh with the determinate systems installer it went well but I couldn't install nix-darwin.

Any help in the right direction would be appreciated

Note: Earlier when I tried to install nix-darwin it installed sucessfully but I couldn't get the darwin-rebuild command to work in my fish shell after many tries. Not sure how the situation changed to not installing nix-darwin at all. :(

changed "aarch64-darwin" in the flake.nix and followed through the rest of the commands

Possibly #906?

Possibly #906?

Can't believe I got pranked by a change 41 minutes ago. Thankyou very much for the quick reply 🥂 Guess I should wait for the pull request to be accepted.

[Enzime]

Should be fixed by #906

I'm seeing the issue still on github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-23.11-darwin. Trying to follow along with https://github.com/ryan4yin/nix-darwin-kickstarter/blob/main/minimal/flake.nix#L24 but running into this error. How is possible to use the fix from https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/pull/906 with that version of nixpkgs?

[willgorman]

Sorry, still pretty new at this but I see now. I had to run nix flake update because the flake.lock for nix-darwin-kickstarter was pointed at older commits that did not yet have the #906 fix.
