Good morning, I have a problem with the installation of the curl when I install the build.sh and the problem is that the installation of the curl https://nixos.org/nix/install , does not work, it does not load at all and this is the result:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

I tried it in Kali and in git bash and it comes out the same, is it a mistake by me or by the branch? Thank you very much.
You are trying in Kali or in Kali for WSL?
I present the same error when I was trying to install that in Kali for WSL and I follow this to fix it.
But you can follow this things:
you must have root or sudo permissions.
This is another way to install nix:
You can found that things in this Link
Thank you very much, I will see if it works for me with your advice, I am in Kali as such, I have it installed to the hard disk together with Windows and I have never had that error, I do not know if it is something that is wrong in the branch, thank you very much.
I am having the same problem and the solution proposed by Pastel-Code does not work for me.
WHAT HAPPENS
I have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed on VirtualBox as a virtual machine on windows 10.
I am following the installation instructions of the official NIX website (here) and I get this:
sudo curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

I tried the other alternative proposed earlier on this thread and on the nix website and I get this when running the first line as root:
curl -o install-nix-2.3.13 https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.3.13/install

I have also tried with with sudo and it still doesnt work.
I NEED HELP
Any idea on how to continue?
Thanks!
I tried what you proposed and I got the same answer
sudo curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

However I already installed NIX with a different workaround, not very orthodox though.
My solution:
I downloaded the compressed file via browser by pasting the url into my mozilla
https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.3.13/nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux.tar.xz
Then via shell, I went to the folder, extracted it, changed the permits to the install script and ran it.
~/Downloads$ tar -xf nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux.tar.xz
~/Downloads$ cd nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux/
~/Downloads/nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux$ sudo su
~/Downloads/nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux# chown -R <USER> /nix
~/Downloads/nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux# su <USER>
~/Downloads/nix-2.3.13-x86_64-linux$ ./install

Then I type this to test installation, I get this.

I guess it means it’s alright now
Just for discarding possibilities, have you checked if the download it’s been blocked by your
antivirus? (just saying)
To my understanding my windows system has no antivirus, and regarding the virtual machine, there are no anti-virus in Ubuntu as far as I know. But it might be.
