Messed Up Nix Download on Mac OS Sonoma 14.0 #9887

Platform

Additional information

Here's how to clean up the old backup file:

  1. Back up (copy) /etc/bashrc and /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix to another location, just in case.

  2. Ensure /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix does not have anything Nix-related in it. If it does, something is probably quite wrong. Please open an issue or get in touch immediately.

  3. Once you confirm /etc/bashrc is backed up and /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix doesn't mention Nix, run: mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc

We'd love to help if you need it.

I think I might have installed multiple different versions of NIX... Having trouble continuing with the download process

spritzle2508 commented 7 months ago

Is there anyway to uninstall all of the packages I downloaded and restart?

You'll have to follow the uninstall instructions before reinstalling it: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html#macos
