nix errors

nix errors can be tricky to diagnose, but the below might assist in diagnosing the issue.

Tip

rerun the command with -v to get more verbose output. you can also rerun the command with --show-trace to get a more detailed traceback. if the nix error is not clear, often the correct error message is somewhere in the middle of the error message.
