will show you instructions on how to clean up your old one.
2. Show you what we are going to install and where. Then we will ask
if you are ready to continue.
3. Create the system users and groups that the Nix daemon uses to run
builds.
4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.

can use Nix.
