I can't install Nix on my Ubuntu
Describe the bug
I was trying to install nix on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as a package manager. The installation failed. As an error message, there was a suggestion to open an issue about it here.
Steps To Reproduce
- After reading the suggestion here, execute
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon - the installation failed
Expected behavior
I was expecting to be able to use nix-env --version. I can't use it, though. I receive
$ nix env --version
Command 'nix' not found, did you mean...
Additional context
The error message suggests posting the entire "context" here:

Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation
This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:
1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.
2. Show you what we are going to install and where. Then we will ask
if you are ready to continue.
3. Create the system users and groups that the Nix daemon uses to run
builds.
4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.
5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
can use Nix.
6. Start the Nix daemon.
Would you like to see a more detailed list of what we will do?
[y/n] y
We will:
- make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix files
(if it does, I will tell you how to clean them up.)
- create local users (see the list above for the users we'll make)
- create a local group (nixbld)
- install Nix in to /nix
- create a configuration file in /etc/nix
- set up the "default profile" by creating some Nix-related files in
/root
- back up /etc/bash.bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix
- update /etc/bash.bashrc to include some Nix configuration
- load and start a service (at /etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service
and /etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.socket) for nix-daemon
Ready to continue?

---- let's talk about sudo -----------------------------------------------------
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time we do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.
Just like this:
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo echo
to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look
This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. We used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:
Can we use sudo?
[y/n] y
Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!

I got the exact same issue on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Additional info. When I try to run I get: ~$ nix-shell error: could not set permissions on '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user' to 755: Operation not permitted
I managed to install using the instructions in this link! https://ariya.io/2020/05/nix-package-manager-on-ubuntu-or-debian
I ran in to the exact same issue trying to go to a multi-user install after I had already installed it in a single user, removing /nix fixed my issue.
sudo rm -rf /nix/
and then rerun the installer:
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
I also see this issue when attempting to upgrade single-user Nix 1.5 to multi-user Nix 1.6:
cp: cannot overwrite non-directory '/nix/store/50msfhkz5wbyk8i78pjv3y9lxdrp7dlm-gcc-10.3.0-lib/lib64' with directory './store/50msfhkz5wbyk8i78pjv3y9lxdrp7dlm-gcc-10.3.0-lib/lib64'

On Debian
I had the same issue when reinstalling Nix from single-user to multi-user.
ow-its's solution solved the issue for me.
