[Nix-dev] error: querying path in database: database disk image is malformed

[Domen Kožar]

If it's a single user install, just run:

$ curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

If it's a multi-user install, follow
http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-multi-user

For NixOS, run nixos-install on your root partition.
