I'd prefer such message:
Application hello is provided by package hello.
May I install it to your user profile by running nix-env -i hello ?
As alternative you can install packages system wide by adding them to
/etc/nixos/configuration.nix option environment.systemPackages
[y] to install, ctrl-c to cancel
