From 4e6d7cb55a884ac19990b487c2020ea257e0f9c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daiderd Jordan Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 20:58:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] installer: don't require xz on darwin On macOS the system tar has builtin support for lzma while xz isn't available as a separate binary. There's no builtin package manager there available either so having to install lzma (without nix) would be rather painful. --- scripts/install.in | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/install.in b/scripts/install.in index 6709f00d4..1d26c4ff0 100644 --- a/scripts/install.in +++ b/scripts/install.in @@ -36,7 +36,9 @@ tarball="$tmpDir/$(basename "$tmpDir/nix-@nixVersion@-$system.tar.xz")" require_util curl "download the binary tarball" require_util tar "unpack the binary tarball" -require_util xz "unpack the binary tarball" +if [ "$(uname -s)" != "Darwin" ]; then + require_util xz "unpack the binary tarball" +fi echo "downloading Nix @nixVersion@ binary tarball for $system from '$url' to '$tmpDir'..." curl -L "$url" -o "$tarball" || oops "failed to download '$url'"
