# Description
|
||
|
|
||
|
This command upgrades Nix to the latest version. By default, it
|
||
|
locates the directory containing the `nix` binary in the `$PATH`
|
||
|
environment variable. If that directory is a Nix profile, it will
|
||
|
upgrade the `nix` package in that profile to the latest stable binary
|
||
|
release.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You cannot use this command to upgrade Nix in the system profile of a
|
||
|
NixOS system (that is, if `nix` is found in `/run/current-system`).
