Before Nix will work in your existing shells, you'll need to close
them and open them again. Other than that, you should be ready to go.

Try it! Open a new terminal, and type:

  $ nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"

Thank you for using this installer. If you have any feedback, don't

When this script runs, it backs up the current $profile_target to

Please follow these instructions to clean up the old backup file:

1. Copy $profile_target and $profile_target$PROFILE_BACKUP_SUFFIX to another place, just
in case.

2. Take care to make sure that $profile_target$PROFILE_BACKUP_SUFFIX doesn't look like
it has anything nix-related in it. If it does, something is probably
quite wrong. Please open an issue or get in touch immediately.

3. Take care to make sure that $profile_target doesn't look like it has

run:

  $ /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mv $profile_target$PROFILE_BACKUP_SUFFIX $profile_target

This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:

1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
   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.

5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
   can use Nix.

6. Start the Nix daemon.

We will:

 - create local users (see the list above for the users we'll make)
 - create a local group ($NIX_BUILD_GROUP_NAME)
 - install Nix in to $NIX_ROOT
 - create a configuration file in /etc/nix
 - set up the "default profile" by creating some Nix-related files in
