&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{fmt/title|the Nix upgrade script issue}}&lt;br /&gt;
The first step in [https://gitlab.com/tootcat/nixos-config the upgrade] is to start Nix on my desktop -- but I get an error when I do that:&lt;br /&gt;
 woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix develop&lt;br /&gt;
 error: experimental Nix feature &amp;#039;nix-command&amp;#039; is disabled; use &amp;#039;--extra-experimental-features nix-command&amp;#039; to override&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My recollection is that I tried the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;--extra-experimental-features&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; option the last time I ran into this (several months ago), and that led to another dead-end -- but I suppose I could try it again and document that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah, here we go:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix --extra-experimental-features develop&lt;br /&gt;
 warning: unknown experimental feature &amp;#039;develop&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 error: no subcommand specified&lt;br /&gt;
 Try &amp;#039;nix --help&amp;#039; for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Am I understanding the error message correctly? Maybe it meant...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix develop --extra-experimental-features nix-command&lt;br /&gt;
 error: getting status of /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket: Permission denied&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&amp;#039;t know if that&amp;#039;s better or worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ ls -al /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, that&amp;#039;s where I&amp;#039;m stuck now.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
