-<title>Environment Variables</title>
-
-<para>To use Nix, some environment variables should be set.  In
-particular, <envar>PATH</envar> should contain the directories
-<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/bin</filename> and
-<filename>~/.nix-profile/bin</filename>.  The first directory contains
-the Nix tools themselves, while <filename>~/.nix-profile</filename> is
-a symbolic link to the current <emphasis>user environment</emphasis>
-(an automatically generated package consisting of symlinks to
-installed packages).  The simplest way to set the required environment
-variables is to include the file
-<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</filename>
-in your <filename>~/.profile</filename> (or similar), like this:</para>
-
-<screen>
-source <replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</screen>

-<section xml:id="sec-nix-ssl-cert-file">
-
-<title><envar>NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE</envar></title>
-
-<para>If you need to specify a custom certificate bundle to account
-for an HTTPS-intercepting man in the middle proxy, you must specify
-the path to the certificate bundle in the environment variable
-<envar>NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE</envar>.</para>
-
-
-<para>If you don't specify a <envar>NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE</envar>
-manually, Nix will install and use its own certificate
-bundle.</para>
-
-<procedure>
-  <step><para>Set the environment variable and install Nix</para>
-    <screen>
-$ export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
-$ sh &lt;(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
-</screen></step>
-
-  <step><para>In the shell profile and rc files (for example,
-  <filename>/etc/bashrc</filename>, <filename>/etc/zshrc</filename>),
-  add the following line:</para>
-<programlisting>
-export NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
-</programlisting>
-</step>
-</procedure>
-
-<note><para>You must not add the export and then do the install, as
-the Nix installer will detect the presense of Nix configuration, and
-abort.</para></note>

-<section xml:id="sec-nix-ssl-cert-file-with-nix-daemon-and-macos">
-<title><envar>NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE</envar> with macOS and the Nix daemon</title>
-
-<para>On macOS you must specify the environment variable for the Nix
-daemon service, then restart it:</para>
-
-<screen>
-$ sudo launchctl setenv NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
-$ sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon
-</screen>

-<title>Proxy Environment Variables</title>
-
-<para>The Nix installer has special handling for these proxy-related
-environment variables:
-<varname>http_proxy</varname>, <varname>https_proxy</varname>,
-<varname>ftp_proxy</varname>, <varname>no_proxy</varname>,
-<varname>HTTP_PROXY</varname>, <varname>HTTPS_PROXY</varname>,
-<varname>FTP_PROXY</varname>, <varname>NO_PROXY</varname>.
-</para>
-<para>If any of these variables are set when running the Nix installer,
-then the installer will create an override file at
-<filename>/etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service.d/override.conf</filename>
-so <command>nix-daemon</command> will use them.
