Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command 
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix

which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.

The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.

Take a look at the Hacking Section of the manual. It helps you to get started with building Nix from source.
