Description
Pardon the title, couldn't resist the pun.
I spent an hour trying to alternately let simula's script install nix, then to install it via my package manager. Nothing I tried resulted in anything remotely like a usable nix, despite a bunch of sourcing and rebooting and tearing of hair. No consistent error messages either - It's a fresh new error every time!
Could we get some boring old-style binary releases as an option? It may help distros package this thing, which may get more eyes on it.
Cheers,
Dirk
