I think this implies that /etc/nix wasn't successfully created in an earlier step for some reason.

This is why it's helpful to have the full installer output, even if including it all feels absurd. If you still have it all, it'd be good to see it. If you still have part of it, can you look into what's around to place the default nix daemon configuration (part 1) in the output?

The error you encountered appears at:

nix/scripts/install-multi-user.sh

Lines 941 to 942 in c447509

	_sudo "to place the default nix daemon configuration (part 2)" \
	install -m 0664 "$SCRATCH/nix.conf" /etc/nix/nix.conf

The /etc/nix/ folder should've been created at:

nix/scripts/install-multi-user.sh

Lines 672 to 673 in c447509

	_sudo "to place the default nix daemon configuration (part 1)" \
	install -dv -m 0555 /etc/nix

Yes, I have saved the full installer output, and I’ve attached it below. Thank you! Marcus A.

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 and groups 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? [y/n] n

---- let's talk about sudo ----------------------------------------------------- This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll output exactly what it'll do, and why. Just like this:

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------ I am executing: $ sudo echo to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time: Can I use sudo? [y/n] y Yay! Thanks! Let's get going! ~~> 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. During install, I add 'nix' to /etc/synthetic.conf, which instructs macOS to create an empty root directory for mounting the Nix volume. Nix isn't the only thing in /var/folders/8b/_03dmbk92nq24j117ll9dkgh0000gn/T/tmp.N8uBAYq8/synthetic.conf.edit, but I think I know how to edit it out.

Ah.

This may be going wrong downstream from:

~~> 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.

During install, I add 'nix' to /etc/synthetic.conf, which instructs
macOS to create an empty root directory for mounting the Nix volume.

Nix isn't the only thing in /var/folders/8b/_03dmbk92nq24j117ll9dkgh0000gn/T/tmp.N8uBAYq8/synthetic.conf.edit,
but I think I know how to edit it out.
Here's the diff:

This is a known issue that started cropping up in Ventura when macOS changed from GNU to their own home-grown diff implementation. There is a candidate fix PR, but it hasn't been merged/released yet.

If you have homebrew installed, you should be able to work around the issue for now by running brew install diffutils.

You'll have to follow the uninstall instructions before trying to reinstall Nix: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installing-binary.html#macos

Here's the initial report and fix PR:

• mix mac install assumed gnu diff and other /etc/synthetic.conf issues #7286
• installer: don't assume GNU diff #7948
