     The minimum version of Nix required to evaluate Nixpkgs is now 2.0.

      <para>
       For users of NixOS 18.03 and 19.03, NixOS defaults to Nix 2.0, but
       supports using Nix 1.11 by setting <literal>nix.package =
       pkgs.nix1;</literal>. If this option is set to a Nix 1.11 package, you
       will need to either unset the option or upgrade it to Nix 2.0.
      </para>

     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of NixOS 17.09, you will first need to upgrade Nix by setting
       <literal>nix.package = pkgs.nixStable2;</literal> and run
       <command>nixos-rebuild switch</command> as the <literal>root</literal>
       user.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of a daemon-less Nix installation on Linux or macOS, you can
       upgrade Nix by running <command>curl https://nixos.org/nix/install |
       sh</command>, or prior to doing a channel update, running
       <command>nix-env -iA nix</command>.
      </para>
      <para>
       If you have already run a channel update and Nix is no longer able to
       evaluate Nixpkgs, the error message printed should provide adequate
       directions for upgrading Nix.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of the Nix daemon on macOS, you can upgrade Nix by running
       <command>sudo -i sh -c 'nix-channel --update &amp;&amp; nix-env -iA
       nixpkgs.nix'; sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon; sudo launchctl
       start org.nixos.nix-daemon</command>.

       The <literal>light</literal> module no longer uses setuid binaries, but
       udev rules. As a consequence users of that module have to belong to the
       <literal>video</literal> group in order to use the executable
       (i.e. <literal>users.users.yourusername.extraGroups = ["video"];</literal>).
