How does one bootstrap nixpkgs from source? Trying to install nix gives:

sh install-nix-2.3.10 install-nix-2.3.10: sorry, there is no binary distribution of Nix for your platform

There's partial support for platforms besides macOS and Linux, but I'm not sure the state of it or how practical it is.

What platform are you hoping to build Nix on?
