I installed nix on osx using this command:
$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume
Following instructions here:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/119559243/download/1/manual/#sect-macos-installation
I'm trying to build a project that uses the nix shell and it's telling me to edit something in a file called nix.conf. However the project documentation was setup using a linux or nixos distribution so not sure where this file is located on osx. (The docs say to look in /etc/nix/nix.conf, but this file doesn't exist in osx)

/etc/nix/nix.conf may not exist, you need to create it.

In this documentation it says
unpack the archive and move the oc binary to a directory on your PATH
I tried echo $PATH and it returns:
bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin
Clearly there are multiple path here, which one should I move cp oc binary to?
/usr/local/bin would be the usual choice for user or third-party executables. That way it won't get wiped out when you update the OS.
See also: Where do you keep your own scripts on OSX? - the question is about scripts rather than binaries, but the same logic applies.

I downloaded and installed sox using the Mac OS X binary.
I am trying to run it using sox in the terminal but I keep getting command not found.
Make sure its on your PATH if you are calling it as sox. If it's not you have 2 options:
Add the directory it was installed to to your PATH
Give a path to the sox binary as the call instead. For example (I used homebrew to install sox) my binary is at /usr/local/bin/sox so my command would start with that. If you'd like you can also use alias to shorten that.

I just follow this page to build custom oracle linux machine image.
I want to use cp cp --sparse=always like Converting the VM Disk to a Machine Image of that page in my Mac. But, my Mac cannot recognize this option. How can I follow this step in my Mac?
I found out that cp in linux is same with gcp(GNU cp) in Mac.
I can run gcp --sparse=always in my Mac.
If you cannot run gcp in your mac, Please refer this page.

I'm writing a mac app (osx 10.9) that accesses the terminal commands using NSTask and I wanted to run some of the commands from my app. Where are the terminal commands (gcc, mkdir,git) stored?
Use which to determine this:
% which gcc
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/gcc
% which mkdir
/bin/mkdir
% which git
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git
They can be scattered all over the place. You can see where individual commands are by using which
which mv
/bin/mv
Also, you can see what are all the paths that are used to search for a given command with the following:
echo $PATH

Im trying to download plugins for my macVim but there is no ./Vim folder? when I download macvim all I get is the application file which works.....am I downloading it from the wrong place?
In Terminal.app, run the following commands to create the ~/.vim directory and the ~/.vimrc file.
$ cd
$ touch .vimrc
$ mkdir .vim
$ open .vim
~/.vim (case sensitive!) you mean? If it dose not exist, just create it.
