Warning: This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

# Name

`nix daemon` - daemon to perform store operations on behalf of non-root clients

# Synopsis

`nix daemon` [option...]

# Example

- Run the daemon in the foreground:

      # nix daemon

# Description

This command runs the Nix daemon, which is a required component in multi-user Nix installations. It performs build actions and other operations on the Nix store on behalf of non-root users. Usually you don't run the daemon directly; instead it's managed by a service management framework such as `systemd`.

Note that this daemon does not fork into the background.
