1 year ago Sounds like you already have a user with the same UID (see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6153).
The easy workaround is deleting that user/users if you no longer use the software that needs them. If you still need them, there's an overview of how to find a different UID range and modify the installer in this comment:

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 [301..332]) and groups (gid 30000) that the Nix daemon uses to run builds. 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? No TTY, assuming you would say yes :) 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? No TTY, assuming you would say yes :) ---- let's talk about sudo ----------------------------------------------------- This script is going to call sudo a lot. Normally, it would show you exactly what commands it is running and why. However, the script is run in a headless fashion, like this: $ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh or maybe in a CI pipeline. Because of that, I'm going to skip the verbose output in the interest of brevity. If you would like to see the output, try like this: $ curl -L -o install-nix https://nixos.org/nix/install $ sh ./install-nix ~~> 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/ld/86xpt55s67vd7hmn07py6b4c0000gn/T/tmp.kcG4GgCd Nix Root: /nix Build Users: 32 Build Group ID: 30000 Build Group Name: nixbld build users: Username: UID _nixbld1: 301 _nixbld2: 302 _nixbld3: 303 _nixbld4: 304 _nixbld5: 305 _nixbld6: 306 _nixbld7: 307 _nixbld8: 308 _nixbld9: 309 _nixbld10: 310 _nixbld11: 311 _nixbld12: 312 _nixbld13: 313 _nixbld14: 314 _nixbld15: 315 _nixbld16: 316 _nixbld17: 317 _nixbld18: 318 _nixbld19: 319 _nixbld20: 320 _nixbld21: 321 _nixbld22: 322 _nixbld23: 323 _nixbld24: 324 _nixbld25: 325 _nixbld26: 326 _nixbld27: 327 _nixbld28: 328 _nixbld29: 329 _nixbld30: 330 _nixbld31: 331 _nixbld32: 332 Ready to continue?
