Backward Incompatibilities When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following incompatible changes: The minimum version of Nix required to evaluate Nixpkgs is now 2.0. For users of NixOS 18.03 and 19.03, NixOS defaults to Nix 2.0, but supports using Nix 1.11 by setting nix.package = pkgs.nix1;. If this option is set to a Nix 1.11 package, you will need to either unset the option or upgrade it to Nix 2.0. For users of NixOS 17.09, you will first need to upgrade Nix by setting nix.package = pkgs.nixStable2; and run nixos-rebuild switch as the root user. For users of a daemon-less Nix installation on Linux or macOS, you can upgrade Nix by running curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh, or prior to doing a channel update, running nix-env -iA nix. If you have already run a channel update and Nix is no longer able to evaluate Nixpkgs, the error message printed should provide adequate directions for upgrading Nix. For users of the Nix daemon on macOS, you can upgrade Nix by running sudo -i sh -c 'nix-channel --update && nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix'; sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon; sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon.
