Thanks for looking into this! I'll also try investigating a bit when possible. |

I believe this PR is ready, I did not remove the WIP as I haven't had a chance to retry since. Feel free to remove the WIP and merge if it looks good to you. |

@rycee I finally had some time to move forward with Darwin build and I verified that this works now! This PR is now ready for your review. EDIT: On second thought, I'm still finding issues with this so I'll work more on it and will let you know! |

Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions. Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step of the installation instructions. PR nix-community#1239 Closes nix-community#474, nix-community#948, nix-community#1091
