Hi,

I expect the following is simply a piece of dumbassery on my end. I have ended up installing and uninstalling a few times after running into the issue described in #80, so I only have a fresh ... ish? install. The install script's output indicated everything was fine, I immediately thereafter ran /nix/nix-installer self-test, which gave the following and told me to post an issue here. When directly spinning up /bin/bash and /opt/homebrew/bin/bash they do recognize the nix command, I take it whatever bash process is throwing this error is not loading .bash_profile.

Also, I love the long bacon color scheme.

Error

Error: 
   0: Self test error, install may be only partially functional
      Shell `bash` failed self-test with command `"bash" "-lc" "exec nix build --option substitute false --option post-build-hook '' --no-link --expr 'derivation { name = \"self-test-bash-1779050002511\"; system = \"aarch64-darwin\"; builder = \"/bin/sh\"; args = [\"-c\" \"echo hello > \\$out\"]; }'"`, stderr:
      bash: line 1: exec: nix: not found
