Install confusion - seems to try to hit /nix #118

Am I doing something wrong? Why is it trying to hit /nix?

I ran the following:

cargo install nix-user-chroot
mkdir -m 0755 ~/.nix
nix-user-chroot ~/.nix bash -c "curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | bash"

It appears its trying to install in /nix which doesn't seem correct.

nix-user-chroot ~/.nix bash -c "curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | bash"
