Installer Issue

installer issue in macOS Sequoia 15.3.2

I back up shell profile/rc scripts before I add Nix to them.
I need to back up /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix,
but the latter already exists.

Here's how to clean up the old backup file:

1. Back up (copy) /etc/bashrc and /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix
   to another location, just in case.

2. Ensure /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix does not have anything
   Nix-related in it. If it does, something is probably quite
   wrong. Please open an issue or get in touch immediately.

3. Once you confirm /etc/bashrc is backed up and
   /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix doesn't mention Nix, run:
   mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc

We'd love to help if you need it.

You'll have to follow the uninstall instructions before reinstalling it: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html#macos
