-<para>If you are using Linux or macOS, the easiest way to install Nix
-is to run the following command:
-
-<screen>
-  $ sh &lt;(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
-</screen>
-
-As of Nix 2.1.0, the Nix installer will always default to creating a
-single-user installation, however opting in to the multi-user
-installation is highly recommended.

-  <title>Single User Installation</title>

-  <para>
-    To explicitly select a single-user installation on your system:
-
-    <screen>
-  sh &lt;(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon
-</screen>
-  </para>

-<para>
-This will perform a single-user installation of Nix, meaning that
-<filename>/nix</filename> is owned by the invoking user.  You should
-run this under your usual user account, <emphasis>not</emphasis> as
-root.  The script will invoke <command>sudo</command> to create
-<filename>/nix</filename> if it doesn’t already exist.  If you don’t
-have <command>sudo</command>, you should manually create
-<command>/nix</command> first as root, e.g.:
-
-<screen>
-$ mkdir /nix
-$ chown alice /nix
-</screen>
-
-The install script will modify the first writable file from amongst
-<filename>.bash_profile</filename>, <filename>.bash_login</filename>
-and <filename>.profile</filename> to source
-<filename>~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</filename>. You can set
-the <command>NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE</command> environment
-variable before executing the install script to disable this
-behaviour.

-    You can instruct the installer to perform a multi-user

-  sh &lt;(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

-
-  <para>
-    The multi-user installation of Nix will create build users between
-    the user IDs 30001 and 30032, and a group with the group ID 30000.
-
-    You should run this under your usual user account,
-    <emphasis>not</emphasis> as root. The script will invoke
-    <command>sudo</command> as needed.

-  <note><para>
-    If you need Nix to use a different group ID or user ID set, you
-    will have to download the tarball manually and <link

-  </para></note>
-
-  <para>
-    The installer will modify <filename>/etc/bashrc</filename>, and
-    <filename>/etc/zshrc</filename> if they exist. The installer will
-    first back up these files with a
-    <literal>.backup-before-nix</literal> extension. The installer
-    will also create <filename>/etc/profile.d/nix.sh</filename>.

-  <para>You can uninstall Nix with the following commands:
-

-sudo rm -rf /etc/profile/nix.sh /etc/nix /nix ~root/.nix-profile ~root/.nix-defexpr ~root/.nix-channels ~/.nix-profile ~/.nix-defexpr ~/.nix-channels

-# If you are on Linux with systemd, you will need to run:
-sudo systemctl stop nix-daemon.socket
-sudo systemctl stop nix-daemon.service
-sudo systemctl disable nix-daemon.socket
-sudo systemctl disable nix-daemon.service
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-
-# If you are on macOS, you will need to run:
-sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
-sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist

-    There may also be references to Nix in

-    You can also download a binary tarball that contains Nix and all
-    its dependencies.  (This is what the install script at
-    <uri>https://nixos.org/nix/install</uri> does automatically.)  You
-    should unpack it somewhere (e.g. in <filename>/tmp</filename>),
-    and then run the script named <command>install</command> inside
-    the binary tarball:
-
-
-<screen>
-alice$ cd /tmp

-    If you need to edit the multi-user installation script to use
