# Installation
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to install and configure Nix for first-time use.
|
|
|
|
The current recommended option on Linux and MacOS is [multi-user](#multi-user).
|
|
|
|
## Multi-user
|
|
|
|
This installation offers better sharing, improved isolation, and more security
|
|
over a single user installation.
|
|
|
|
This option requires either:
|
|
|
|
* Linux running systemd, with SELinux disabled
|
|
* MacOS
|
|
|
|
> **Updating to macOS 15 Sequoia**
|
|
>
|
|
> If you recently updated to macOS 15 Sequoia and are getting
|
|
> ```console
|
|
> error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
|
|
> ```
|
|
> when running Nix commands, refer to GitHub issue [NixOS/nix#10892](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10892) for instructions to fix your installation without reinstalling.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Single-user
|
|
|
|
> Single-user is not supported on Mac.
|
|
|
|
This installation has less requirements than the multi-user install, however it
|
|
cannot offer equivalent sharing, isolation, or security.
|
|
|
|
This option is suitable for systems without systemd.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --no-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Distributions
|
|
|
|
The Nix community maintains installers for several distributions.
|
|
|
|
They can be found in the [`nix-community/nix-installers`](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-installers) repository.
