The nix package manager is useful for installing lots of packages that aren't in the Fedora repositories and for having multiple versions of the same package installed on the same system. Currently, the multi-user installation using the official installation script cannot work because of selinux although you can still do a single-user installation using the script.

There is another way of doing a multi-user installation of nix and that is downloading and installing the community-maintained installer packages for Nix which are available here. I wish a package for Nix either based on that package but up-to-date (since that is providing an outdated version of nix) or created manually was packaged in terra so you can install it on Fedora and Ultramarine just like you can install nix from pacman on Arch.

I think it's a bit more appropriate to package this in Terra instead if we do it? I kinda doubt if anyone is willing to do it if it's unmaintained though.
