Perhaps a stupid question but I got an early-March installation, can I just run the command in the blog post to upgrade it?

Unfortunately, you will need to uninstall Nix[1] and then re-install it using that script. But given how we've built the installer that should be pretty seamless.

Yeah, this is unfortunate. We've built the Determinate Nix Installer to be super reliable and safe. We've built the receipt mechanism to have very clear and safe "revert" phases. This has made it hard to architect an upgrade of the installer's work itself ... but I'll put a ticket it! :)

I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it gave me 0.13.1 and not 0.14. Did I do something wrong?

edit: tried again and got 0.14. Weird.

Sorry about that. Just checked. This is due to our phased rollouts which are currently 50/50.

We're just ramping 0.14 up to 100%. So please try again in about 10 mins

This is just rolled out now! Sorry about that, I thought we'd hit merge on that PR before publishing :').
