Somehow after upgraded mac os and reboot, my zsh shell complained that /nix missing. I tried to uninstall nix to ensure it removed cleanly (here is the link: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html) and restarted the macbook m1 pro.
Then I tried to install nix again by:
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
But i got error, here is the full output of installation
Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation
This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:
1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.
2. Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask
if you are ready to continue.
3. Create the system users and groups that the Nix daemon uses to run
builds.
4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.
5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
can use Nix.
6. Start the Nix daemon.
Would you like to see a more detailed list of what I will do?
[y/n] y
I will:
- make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix files
(if it does, I will tell you how to clean them up.)
- create local users (see the list above for the users I'll make)
- create a local group (nixbld)
- install Nix in to /nix
- create a configuration file in /etc/nix
- set up the "default profile" by creating some Nix-related files in
/var/root
- back up /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix
- update /etc/bashrc to include some Nix configuration
- back up /etc/zshrc to /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix
- update /etc/zshrc to include some Nix configuration
- back up /etc/bash.bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix
- update /etc/bash.bashrc to include some Nix configuration
- create a Nix volume and a LaunchDaemon to mount it
- create a LaunchDaemon (at /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist) for nix-daemon

---- let's talk about sudo -----------------------------------------------------
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.
Just like this:
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo echo
to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look
This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:
Can I use sudo?
[y/n] y
Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!
~~> Fixing any leftover Nix volume state
Before I try to install, I'll check for any existing Nix volume config
and ask for your permission to remove it (so that the installer can
start fresh). I'll also ask for permission to fix any issues I spot.
~~> Checking for artifacts of previous installs
Before I try to install, I'll check for signs Nix already is or has
been installed on this system.

---- Preparing a Nix volume ----------------------------------------------------
Nix traditionally stores its data in the root directory /nix, but
macOS now (starting in 10.15 Catalina) has a read-only root directory.
To support Nix, I will create a volume and configure macOS to mount it
at /nix.
~~> Configuring /etc/synthetic.conf to make a mount-point at /nix
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo /usr/bin/ex -u NONE -n /etc/synthetic.conf
to add Nix to /etc/synthetic.conf
Password:
---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
error: failed to configure synthetic.conf

For future reference, you don't have to reinstall. The macOS update is overwriting the zsh shell hook, but you can just replace it. See #3616 for more.
As to the error with /etc/synthetic.conf, the other two times it's come up have been permission issues. I'd check out the issues below and see if either of them help identify the cause in your case:
