‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as, including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on macOS is as simple as: $ sudo nix-channel --update $ sudo nix-env -u $ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon $ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon or $ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon |

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.
