MacOS Monterey, Apple M1
Installed latest GHC via https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/ but not Stack.

Installed nix 2.8.0 multiuser Set Cache in /etc/nix/nix.conf as below: UPDATE: I have since updated nix.conf file for M1. See bottom of question for latest nix.conf and corresponding error message

             sandbox = false
             substituters        = https://hydra.iohk.io https://iohk.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org/
             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=

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter

cd plutus-starter

nix-shell

Result: Note see Update below. This might have been due to nix.conf not setup properly for M1.

Also earlier in the nix-shell log I saw the following:

    [217 of 285] Compiling Distribution.Simple.Program.GHC ( libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/Program/GHC.hs, bootstrapping/Distribution/Simple/Program/GHC.o )
    'apple-a7' is not a recognized processor for this target (ignoring processor)

Things I have tried:

Search for all nix.conf file and add the cache entries as above. run as root: sudo nix-shell sudo nix-build etc.

I am not familiar with nix and I might have missed some steps to be done prior to running nix-shell

PS. Also would like to clean the nix caches? So I can try again with clean cache. Is it the following?

  rm $HOME/.cache/nix/binary-cache-v*.sqlite*

or is there a nix command for this?

And the nix log command for further details did not work either:

  nix log /nix/store/40hp5wypw0djadrrcb1346hk2y0ridf2-ghc-8.8.4.drv
  error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override

using --extra-experimental-features indicates log is not recognized nix command.

UPDATE: Per suggestion I have updated the nix.conf per https://github.com/renzwo/cardano-plutus-apps-install-m1/blob/main/README.md

And my exact nix.conf file is now:

 sandbox = false
 system = x86_64-darwin
 extra-platforms = x86_64-darwin aarch64-darwin
 experimental-features = nix-command
 extra-experimental-features = flakes
 extra-sandbox-paths = /System/Library/Frameworks /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks /usr/lib /private/tmp /private/var/tmp /usr/bin/env
 substituters        = https://hydra.iohk.io   https://iohk.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org/
 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=

However, I now see a different error message:

The following git repo has the latest information on setting up your environment in Mac M1. I personally followed this tutorial and worked perfectly. I suggest you delete everything you have done before and start from scratch following this link. https://github.com/renzwo/cardano-plutus-apps-install-m1/blob/main/README.md

  • Ok, did you get try this with plutus-starter project?

  • I did update with your suggestion for M1 based nix.conf file but used the cache suggested for the Plutus Starter. See updated logs above

  • I also see file descriptor error when running nix-build on Plutus-Apps

  • I dont think you should use the plutus-start-project for now , the repo they have on github is not updated , and you have to do a lot of things to fix it to make it run right now.

  • Well I followed the instructions for M1 above for Plutus-Apps and reinstalled nix as well. However, I am still seeing the invalid file descriptor errors as indicated in my update above.
