I have a question, why do we need to redirect stdout to dev/null (ignore it by the shell)? On line 41 of install_nix.sh, we also do the same except we redirect both stdout and stderr to dev/null. Is this so the user doesn't have to see specific error messages/encapsulation? Also running into this error when running ./scripts/install_nix.sh: abosh@Aboshs-MacBook-Air ~/comm (master)> echo "build-users-group = nixbld" | sudo tee /etc/nix/nix.conf > /dev/null abosh@Aboshs-MacBook-Air ~/comm (master)> cat /etc/nix/nix.conf build-users-group = nixbld abosh@Aboshs-MacBook-Air ~/comm (master)> ./scripts/install_nix.sh error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override ./scripts/install_nix.sh: line 30: /bin/better-prompt: No such file or directory abosh@Aboshs-MacBook-Air ~/comm (master)> cat /etc/nix/nix.conf build-users-group = nixbld trusted-users = @admin abosh experimental-features = flakes nix-command cores = 4 max-jobs = 4  Comment Actions
tee also outputs to stdout, so it is just weird, but inert. I'm just using tee so that it can write as root.
I noticed that you're on master. This PR is to address this exact issue. You can do arc patch D4862 and then try again. Comment Actions
My bad 🤦 I'll try again. |
