~/Projects/compression-puzzle   feature/red-language ●  nix-env -iA nixpkgs.red
installing 'red-0.6.4'
error: Package ‘red-0.6.4’ in /nix/store/02jzg4iiafapgb2p77aspm6ama87qp5y-nixpkgs-22.05pre338661.3c52ea8c921/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/interpreters/red/default.nix:81 is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’, refusing to evaluate.
a) To temporarily allow packages that are unsupported for this system, you can use an environment variable
for a single invocation of the nix tools.
$ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=1
b) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
{ nixpkgs.config.allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.
c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
