I first answered 'y' to the installer question about creating `/run` but I got an error message about the volume being read-only.
<teehemkay>
I re-ran the darwin-nix installer and this time answered 'n' to the question about creating `/run` and got the following message:
<teehemkay>
I'm now trying to install nix-darwin but there's an issue with `/run`.
<teehemkay>
setting up /run...
<teehemkay>
```
<teehemkay>
error: Directory /run does not exist, aborting activation
<teehemkay>
Would you like to create /run? [y/n] n
<teehemkay>
Create a symlink to /var/run with:
<teehemkay>
sudo ln -s private/var/run /run
<teehemkay>
```
<teehemkay>
The suggested command `sudo ln...` doesn't work.
<teehemkay>
Is the installer taking care of editing `/etc/synthetic.con` as it's done in the `create-darwin-volume.sh`?
<teehemkay>
I mean to allow the `/run` volume
<LnL>
teehemkay: yeah, it's not updated yet for catalina
<LnL>
teehemkay: add run\tprivate/var/run to synthetic.conf an run /System/Library/Filesystems/apfs.fs/Contents/Resources/apfs.util -B
<teehemkay>
LnL: Thanks!

<teehemkay>
LnL: It worked.
<teehemkay>
FYI, I to had set `programs.zsh.enable = true;` to enable darwin-nix activation on Catalina since the default shell is now `zsh` (also had to rename `/etc/zshrc and `/etc/zprofile`)
<LnL>
right, probably makes sense to enable that by default since it became the standard shell

Please let me know if you want me to create a GH issue for this.
