This will happen in a few stages: 1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install. 2. Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask if you are ready to continue. 3. Create the system users (uids [501..532]) and groups (gid 30000) that the Nix daemon uses to run builds. To create system users in a different range, exit and run this tool again with NIX_FIRST_BUILD_UID set. 4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon. 5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you can use Nix. 6. Start the Nix daemon. Would you like to see a more detailed list of what I will do? [y/n] y I will: - make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix files (if it does, I will tell you how to clean them up.) - create local users (see the list above for the users I'll make) - create a local group (nixbld) - install Nix in to /nix - create a configuration file in /etc/nix - set up the "default profile" by creating some Nix-related files in /var/root - back up /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix - update /etc/bashrc to include some Nix configuration - back up /etc/zshrc to /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix - update /etc/zshrc to include some Nix configuration - create a Nix volume and a LaunchDaemon to mount it - create a LaunchDaemon (at /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist) for nix-daemon Ready to continue? [y/n] y ---- let's talk about sudo ----------------------------------------------------- This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll output exactly what it'll do, and why. Just like this: ---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------ I am executing: $ sudo echo to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time: Can I use sudo? [y/n] y Yay! Thanks! Let's get going! ~~> Fixing any leftover Nix volume state Before I try to install, I'll check for any existing Nix volume config and ask for your permission to remove it (so that the installer can start fresh). I'll also ask for permission to fix any issues I spot. ~~> Checking for artifacts of previous installs Before I try to install, I'll check for signs Nix already is or has been installed on this system. ---- Nix config report --------------------------------------------------------- Temp Dir: /var/folders/df/h23vbwcx00qc6g9tns_8bv3h0000gn/T/tmp.WLMdL4SVdf Nix Root: /nix Build Users: 32 Build Group ID: 30000 Build Group Name: nixbld build users: Username: UID _nixbld1: 501 _nixbld2: 502 _nixbld3: 503 _nixbld4: 504 _nixbld5: 505 _nixbld6: 506 _nixbld7: 507 _nixbld8: 508 _nixbld9: 509 _nixbld10: 510 _nixbld11: 511 _nixbld12: 512 _nixbld13: 513 _nixbld14: 514 _nixbld15: 515 _nixbld16: 516 _nixbld17: 517 _nixbld18: 518 _nixbld19: 519 _nixbld20: 520 _nixbld21: 521 _nixbld22: 522 _nixbld23: 523 _nixbld24: 524 _nixbld25: 525 _nixbld26: 526 _nixbld27: 527 _nixbld28: 528 _nixbld29: 529 _nixbld30: 530 _nixbld31: 531 _nixbld32: 532 Ready to continue? [y/n] y ---- Preparing a Nix volume ---------------------------------------------------- Nix traditionally stores its data in the root directory /nix, but macOS now (starting in 10.15 Catalina) has a read-only root directory.
