Install upstream Nix in single-user mode so that nix build and nix flake work out of the box for the coder user. - Add xz-utils (required by the Nix installer to decompress the tarball) - Create /nix owned by coder before switching to that user - Run the official nixos.org installer with --no-daemon (no systemd needed) - Write ~/.config/nix/nix.conf to enable nix-command and flakes - Prepend ~/.nix-profile/bin to PATH via ENV
