`lix-installer` needs to run as `root`, attempting to escalate now via `sudo`...
INFO nix-installer v3.95.0
Welcome to the Lix installer! Just a couple of quick questions.
Flakes are an experimental feature, but widely used in the community.
You can change this later in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`.
Enable flakes? ([Y]es/[n]o): y
QUICK NOTE: we've enabled the experimental nix command for you!
Be aware that commands starting with `nix ` such as `nix build` may change syntax.
Lix install plan (v3.95.0)
Planner: macos
Configured settings:
* nix_package_url: {"Url":"https://releases.lix.systems/lix/lix-2.95.1/lix-2.95.1-aarch64-darwin.tar.xz"}
Planned actions:
* Create an encrypted APFS volume `Nix Store` for Nix on `disk2` and add it to `/etc/fstab` mounting on `/nix`
* Fetch `https://releases.lix.systems/lix/lix-2.95.1/lix-2.95.1-aarch64-darwin.tar.xz` to `/nix/temp-install-dir`
* Create a directory tree in `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/var ownership
* Move the downloaded Nix into `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/store ownership
* Create build users (UID 351-382) and group (GID 350)
* Configure Time Machine exclusions
* Setup the default Nix profile
* Place the Nix configuration in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`
* Configure the shell profiles
* Configuring zsh to support using Nix in non-interactive shells
* Unload, then recreate a `launchctl` plist to put Nix into your PATH
* Configure Nix daemon related settings with launchctl
* Remove directory `/nix/temp-install-dir`
Proceed? ([Y]es/[n]o/[e]xplain): y
