      exited with status code: 1


Error saving receipt: RecordingReceipt("/nix", Os { code: 30, kind: ReadOnlyFilesystem, message: "Read-only file system" })

This is a brand new install on a newly provisioned company MacBook. I can provide any further info which would be helpful.

For now this is a fatal error triggering a rollback for installation. 🤷

Looks like a duplicate of #75, sorry.

tesujimath changed title from ~~Installer error saving receipt: /nix Read-only file system~~ to Installer on macOS error saving receipt: /nix Read-only file system
