# Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
To use Nix, some environment variables should be set. In particular,
|
||||
`PATH` should contain the directories `prefix/bin` and
|
||||
`~/.nix-profile/bin`. The first directory contains the Nix tools
|
||||
themselves, while `~/.nix-profile` is a symbolic link to the current
|
||||
*user environment* (an automatically generated package consisting of
|
||||
symlinks to installed packages). The simplest way to set the required
|
||||
environment variables is to include the file
|
||||
`prefix/etc/profile.d/nix.sh` in your `~/.profile` (or similar), like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
source prefix/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# `NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE`
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to specify a custom certificate bundle to account for an
|
||||
HTTPS-intercepting man in the middle proxy, you must specify the path to
|
||||
the certificate bundle in the environment variable `NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't specify a `NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE` manually, Nix will install
|
||||
and use its own certificate bundle.
|
||||
|
||||
Set the environment variable and install Nix
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
|
||||
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the shell profile and rc files (for example, `/etc/bashrc`,
|
||||
`/etc/zshrc`), add the following line:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> You must not add the export and then do the install, as the Nix
|
||||
> installer will detect the presence of Nix configuration, and abort.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the Nix daemon, you should also add the following to
|
||||
`/etc/nix/nix.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Proxy Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
The Nix installer has special handling for these proxy-related
|
||||
environment variables: `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `ftp_proxy`,
|
||||
`all_proxy`, `no_proxy`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `FTP_PROXY`,
|
||||
`ALL_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`.
|
||||
|
||||
If any of these variables are set when running the Nix installer, then
|
||||
the installer will create an override file at
|
||||
`/etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service.d/override.conf` so `nix-daemon`
|
||||
will use them.

# Installation
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes how to install and configure Nix for first-time use.
|
||||
Nix follows a [multi-user](./nix-security.md#multi-user-model) model on both Linux
|
||||
and macOS.
|
||||
We recommend that macOS users install Determinate Nix using [Determinate.pkg][pkg].
|
||||
For Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) users:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --daemon
|
||||
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
|
||||
sh -s -- install --determinate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Updating to macOS 15 Sequoia**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> If you recently updated to macOS 15 Sequoia and are getting
|
||||
> ```console
|
||||
> error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
> when running Nix commands, refer to GitHub issue [NixOS/nix#10892](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10892) for instructions to fix your installation without reinstalling.
|
||||
|
||||
## Distributions
|
||||
|
||||
The Nix community maintains installers for several distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
They can be found in the [`nix-community/nix-installers`](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-installers) repository.

# Installing a Binary Distribution
|
||||
|
||||
> **Updating to macOS 15 Sequoia**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> If you recently updated to macOS 15 Sequoia and are getting
|
||||
> ```console
|
||||
> error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist

> ```
|
||||
> when running Nix commands, refer to GitHub issue [NixOS/nix#10892](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10892) for instructions to fix your installation without reinstalling.
|
||||
|
||||
To install the latest version Nix, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This performs the default type of installation for your platform:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Multi-user](#multi-user-installation):
|
||||
- Linux with systemd and without SELinux
|
||||
- macOS
|
||||
|
||||
The installer can configured with various command line arguments and environment variables.
|
||||
To show available command line flags:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To check what it does and how it can be customised further, [download and edit the second-stage installation script](#installing-from-a-binary-tarball).
|
||||
|
||||
# Installing a pinned Nix version from a URL
|
||||
|
||||
Version-specific installation URLs for all Nix versions since 1.11.16 can be found at [releases.nixos.org](https://releases.nixos.org/?prefix=nix/).
|
||||
The directory for each version contains the corresponding SHA-256 hash.
|
||||
|
||||
All installation scripts are invoked the same way:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ export VERSION=2.19.2
|
||||
$ curl -L https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-$VERSION/install | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Multi User Installation
|
||||
|
||||
The multi-user Nix installation creates system users and a system service for the Nix daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported systems:
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux running systemd, with SELinux disabled
|
||||
- macOS
|
||||
|
||||
To explicitly instruct the installer to perform a multi-user installation on your system:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ bash <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can run this under your usual user account or `root`.
|
||||
The script will invoke `sudo` as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
# Installing from a binary tarball
|
||||
|
||||
You can also download a binary tarball that contains Nix and all its dependencies:
|
||||
- Choose a [version](https://releases.nixos.org/?prefix=nix/) and [system type](../development/building.md#platforms)
|
||||
- Download and unpack the tarball
|
||||
- Run the installer
|
||||
|
||||
> **Example**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```console
|
||||
> $ pushd $(mktemp -d)
|
||||
> $ export VERSION=2.19.2
|
||||
> $ export SYSTEM=x86_64-linux
|
||||
> $ curl -LO https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-$VERSION/nix-$VERSION-$SYSTEM.tar.xz
|
||||
> $ tar xfj nix-$VERSION-$SYSTEM.tar.xz
|
||||
> $ cd nix-$VERSION-$SYSTEM
|
||||
> $ ./install
|
||||
> $ popd
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
The installer can be customised with the environment variables declared in the file named `install-multi-user`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Native packages for Linux distributions
|
||||
|
||||
The Nix community maintains installers for some Linux distributions in their native packaging format(https://nix-community.github.io/nix-installers/).

|
||||
|
||||
We believe we have ironed out how to cleanly support the read-only root file system
|
||||
on modern macOS. New installs will do this automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
This section previously detailed the situation, options, and trade-offs,
|
||||
but it now only outlines what the installer does. You don't need to know
|
||||
this to run the installer, but it may help if you run into trouble:
|
||||
|
||||
- create a new APFS volume for your Nix store
|
||||
- update `/etc/synthetic.conf` to direct macOS to create a "synthetic"
|
||||
empty root directory to mount your volume
|
||||
- specify mount options for the volume in `/etc/fstab`
|
||||
- `rw`: read-write
|
||||
- `noauto`: prevent the system from auto-mounting the volume (so the
|
||||
LaunchDaemon mentioned below can control mounting it, and to avoid
|
||||
masking problems with that mounting service).
|
||||
- `nobrowse`: prevent the Nix Store volume from showing up on your
|
||||
desktop; also keeps Spotlight from spending resources to index
|
||||
this volume
|
||||
<!-- TODO:
|
||||
- `suid`: honor setuid? surely not? ...
|
||||
- `owners`: honor file ownership on the volume
|
||||
|
||||
For now I'll avoid pretending to understand suid/owners more
|
||||
than I do. There've been some vague reports of file-ownership
|
||||
and permission issues, particularly in cloud/VM/headless setups.
|
||||
My pet theory is that this has something to do with these setups
|
||||
not having a token that gets delegated to initial/admin accounts
|
||||
on macOS. See scripts/create-darwin-volume.sh for a little more.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, by Dec 4 2021, it _seems_ like some combination of
|
||||
suid, owners, and calling diskutil enableOwnership have stopped
|
||||
new reports from coming in. But I hesitate to celebrate because we
|
||||
haven't really named and catalogued the behavior, understood what
|
||||
we're fixing, and validated that all 3 components are essential.
|
||||
-->
|
||||
- if you have FileVault enabled
|
||||
- generate an encryption password
|
||||
- put it in your system Keychain
|
||||
- use it to encrypt the volume
|
||||
- create a system LaunchDaemon to mount this volume early enough in the
|
||||
boot process to avoid problems loading or restoring any programs that
|
||||
need access to your Nix store
