Sounds like you already had an install. The installer currently isn't idempotent, so you'll have to follow the uninstall instructions before reinstalling it: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html#macos

For future reference: If you are reinstalling because Nix was missing from your PATH after a macOS update, you don't have to reinstall to fix this. The macOS update is overwriting the shell hook, but you can just replace it. See #3616 for more.
