MacOS Install Fails #9453

Sounds like you already have a user with the same UID (see #6153). The easy workaround is deleting that user/users if you no longer use the software that needs them. If you still need them, there's an overview of how to find a different UID range and modify the installer in this comment: |

Thank you. That fixed it. I eventually failed as my work laptop limits sudo. Not your issue though. |

Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation
This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:
Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.
Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask
if you are ready to continue.
Create the system users (uids [301..332]) and groups (gid 30000)
that the Nix daemon uses to run builds.
Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.
Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
can use Nix.
Start the Nix daemon.
Would you like to see a more detailed list of what I will do?

---- let's talk about sudo -----------------------------------------------------
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.
Just like this:
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look
This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:
Can I use sudo?

Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!
~~> Fixing any leftover Nix volume state
Before I try to install, I'll check for any existing Nix volume config
and ask for your permission to remove it (so that the installer can
start fresh). I'll also ask for permission to fix any issues I spot.
~~> Checking for artifacts of previous installs
Before I try to install, I'll check for signs Nix already is or has
been installed on this system.

---- Preparing a Nix volume ----------------------------------------------------
Nix traditionally stores its data in the root directory /nix, but
macOS now (starting in 10.15 Catalina) has a read-only root directory.
To support Nix, I will create a volume and configure macOS to mount it
at /nix.
