Apple's new macOS version, Sequoia, conflicts with most existing installations of Nix.
This release includes a repair sequoia
command that fixes the issue.
Before upgrading to Sequoia, Nix users should run the repair tool:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix/tag/v0.26.0 | sh -s -- repair sequoia --move-existing-users
Running the repair tool after upgrading to Sequoia will work, too, but Nix will not work until after the repair tool is run.
Nix users on macOS who installed Nix with the upstream Nix installer, or Determinate Nix Installer v0.22.0
and older.
Run /nix/nix-installer --version
to identify the Determinate Nix Installer version used on your system.
The repair tool is safe to run, even if you installed with a Determinate Nix Installer version newer than v0.22.0
.
Users who customized their Nix build users should read the help output of the repair sequoia
command by passing the --help
flag.
macOS Sequoia creates users with UniqueID
s that conflict with Nix's _nixbldN
(i.e. _nixbld1
) users.
When upgrading to Sequoia, macOS's update tool deletes the conflicting users.

This release contains the Nix version bump to 2.24.5, which includes a fix for the issue we mentioned in the release notes for https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/releases/tag/v0.23.0 (a regression in substituting store paths with many dependencies, https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11387).

This release has a couple important-to-note changes:
350
and build UIDs that start at 351 (for nixbld1
), in order to be robust against the upcoming macOS Sequoia update. Work is still in progress on implementing a migration helper for existing pre-Sequoia macOS installations; stay tuned for more information.Full Changelog: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/compare/v0.22.0...v0.23.0

This patch release release improves macOS 15 beta fresh install support by handling the case where reading the current system version from SystemVersion.plist
returns the compatibility version 10.16, instead of 15.0.
A huge thank you to @ratbag98 for their assistance in narrowing down the issue and testing out various approaches to resolve the problem!

This release includes preliminary support for the macOS 15 beta, by relocating the build user UIDs into the 450-499 range. This will only be useful for fresh installations.

This release includes some more work towards supporting installing over existing installations (see https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/126 for more information on our curing effort). Specifically, an existing /etc/nix/nix.conf
file will no longer be a hard error[^1] and will instead be merged with the settings that we desire.
It also fixes a few bugs, like a typo in a permissions check (checking a file had a mode of 664
instead of 644
), a macOS installation bug that affected some setups (see https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/295 and https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/298 for more information), and explicitly erroring on WSL1 as unsupported.
If you rely on us as a library, the change that will impact you the most is that we made all of our error enum
s #[non_exhaustive]
, so that adding new variants in the future won't require a new major version.
The diagnostics report also saw a slight rework to be somewhat more useful in actually diagnosing issues. A diagnostic report now looks like this:
{
"version": "0.5.0",
"planner": "linux",
"configured_settings": [
"modify_profile"

[^1]: Currently, only experimental-features
will be merged (please file an issue if you would like to see other options supported!); any other conflict between our desired settings and an existing nix.conf
will still cause an error. In other words, if the setting is not one that we are trying to set (see the list here: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/v0.5.0/src/action/common/place_nix_configuration.rs#L32-L45), it will be seamlessly merged into the resulting nix.conf
file.
