nix3-upgrade-nix(1)	    General Commands Manual	   nix3-upgrade-nix(1)

	      Warning
	      This  program  is	 experimental <../../development/experimental-
	      features.md#xp-feature-nix-command> and its interface is subject
	      to change.

Name
       nix upgrade-nix - upgrade Nix to	the latest stable version

Synopsis
       nix upgrade-nix [option...]

Examples
         Upgrade Nix to the stable version declared in	Nixpkgs:

       # nix upgrade-nix

         Upgrade Nix in a specific profile:

       # nix upgrade-nix --profile ~alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile

Description
       This command upgrades Nix to the	stable version.

       By default, the latest stable version is	defined	by  Nixpkgs,  in  nix-
       fallback-paths.nix
       <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-
       fallback-paths.nix> and updated manually. It may	not always be the lat-
       est tagged release.

       By  default,  it	locates	the directory containing the nix binary	in the
       $PATH environment variable. If that directory is	a Nix profile, it will
       upgrade the nix package in that profile to the latest stable binary re-
       lease.

       You cannot use this command to upgrade Nix in the system	profile	 of  a
       NixOS system (that is, if nix is	found in /run/current-system).
