<autogenerated-issue> I was installing Nix on MacOS Sequoia the hard way, then I found your installer #1360

After I found your installer I realized I probably created conflicting copies, or otherwise fumbled it.

I was reading this docs article from the reference manual to uninstall what I did the hard way.

I then tried to run uninstall with the determinate system installer/uninstaller and it through errors. My guess is because I removed some things it was trying to remove.

That is very likely. Aside from those errors, are you up-and-running again?
