error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path

On a fresh installation of nix-on-droid I get the following error when trying to install any package.

bash-5.1$ nix-shell -p gnutar
warning: Nix search path entry '/data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs/' does not exist, ignoring
error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

Which bootstrap url did you use? Did you choose flake setup instead of channel setup?

Can you show the outputs of

nix-channel --list
echo $NIX_PATH

If you've used a flake bootstrap, you're after something like nix shell nixpkgs/release-22.11#gnutar.

Aha, that works! I didn't know that the two setups were mutually exclusive.
