mkdir ~/.config/nix echo 'substituters = https://hydra.iohk.io https://iohk.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org/' >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf echo 'trusted-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ= iohk.cachix.org-1:DpRUyj7h7V830dp/i6Nti+NEO2/nhblbov/8MW7Rqoo= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=' >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

  • If the file does not exist you have to create it. It should work.

  • Don't work.. mkdir ~/.config/nix mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/cnode/.config/nix’: No such file or directory

  • Not sure what directory you are in (folder). Maybe post back (use pwd). None the less, you probably don't have the nix.conf file made in /etc/nix directory? Try this on how to make one: punkbit.com/hacking/…

Reset to default

It’s because the folder .config does not exist yet, so you cannot create the nested folder nix

So you run this instead

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
