Hello, trying to install Lix after a fresh install of Nix, on a fresh install of macOS 15.1. This is my first Mac, apologies if there's an obvious fix. But your advice is appreciated. Thanks

Error

Error: 
   0: Planner error
   1: Error executing action
   2: Action `encrypt_apfs_volume` errored
   3: The keychain lacks a password for the already existing "Nix Store" volume on disk `disk3`, consider removing the volume with `diskutil apfs deleteVolume "Nix Store"` (if you receive error -69888, you may need to run `sudo launchctl bootout system/org.nixos.darwin-store` and `sudo launchctl bootout system/org.nixos.nix-daemon` first)

Sometimes this is related to not having logged in on the physical console of the machine; there's some weird stuff that happens if it's only been ssh'd into.

Other than that, maybe try the command it tells you. You'll have to rerun the installer and it might work then. Not sure exactly what went wrong, anyway.

This was all my fault. Adding details to help future noobs.

I was trying to install this to get home-manager working to manage my home Nix environment on macOS. Installing the stand-alone version of home-manager worked instead of the nix-darwin module option.
