I installed the determinate installer on my MacOS Sequioa machine:

% curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install
info: downloading installer (https://install.determinate.systems/nix/tag/v0.32.2/nix-installer-aarch64-darwin)
 INFO nix-installer v0.32.2
`nix-installer` needs to run as `root`, attempting to escalate now via `sudo`...

Nix install plan (v0.32.2)
Planner: macos (with default settings)

Planned actions:
* Create an encrypted APFS volume `Nix Store` for Nix on `disk3` and add it to `/etc/fstab` mounting on `/nix`
* Extract the bundled Nix (originally from /nix/store/fg8haq4wkgm320cffnib91f6lv2i28g6-nix-binary-tarball-2.25.3/nix-2.25.3-aarch64-darwin.tar.xz)
* Create a directory tree in `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/var ownership
* Move the downloaded Nix into `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/store ownership
* Create build users (UID 351-382) and group (GID 350)
* Configure Time Machine exclusions
* Setup the default Nix profile
* Place the Nix configuration in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`
* Configure the shell profiles
* Configuring zsh to support using Nix in non-interactive shells
* Create a `launchctl` plist to put Nix into your PATH
* Configure upstream Nix daemon service
* Remove directory `/nix/temp-install-dir`

To get started using Nix, open a new shell or run `. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh`

Sidenote: My config is upon https://github.com/kaihendry/mac-nix

And when I follow the instructions to install nix darwin:

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake .#kaim1pro

It would appear to me that problem is that /etc/profiles/per-user/ isn't being populated and I don't know why.
