# Single-User Mode
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In single-user mode, all Nix operations that access the database in
|
|||
|
|
`prefix/var/nix/db` or modify the Nix store in `prefix/store` must be
|
|||
|
|
performed under the user ID that owns those directories. This is
|
|||
|
|
typically root. (If you install from RPM packages, that’s in fact the
|
|||
|
|
default ownership.) However, on single-user machines, it is often
|
|||
|
|
convenient to `chown` those directories to your normal user account so
|
|||
|
|
that you don’t have to `su` to root all the time.
