This command runs the Nix daemon, which is a required component in
multi-user Nix installations. It performs build actions and other
operations on the Nix store on behalf of non-root users. Usually you
don\[u2019]t run the daemon directly; instead it\[u2019]s managed by a service
management framework such as \fCsystemd\fR.
