check both variables
$ echo $NIX_PATH
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos

You could also set it to your working directory of nixpkgs.

Do build an ISO, you could use

$ nix-build "<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>" -A iso_graphical.x86_64-linux

"<nixpkgs>" will be substituted by the path of nixpkgs by looking up
inside $NIX_PATH.
