---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh no, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open
an issue, we'd love to fix the problem so nobody else has this issue.

:(

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

For future reference: If you are reinstalling because Nix was missing from your PATH after a macOS update, you don't have to reinstall to fix this. The macOS update is overwriting the shell hook, but you can just replace it. See #3616 for more.
