FUSE

Some packages rely on FUSE to provide support for additional filesystems not supported by the kernel.

In general, FUSE software are primarily developed for Linux but many of them can also run on macOS. Nixpkgs supports FUSE packages on macOS, but it requires macFUSE to be installed outside of Nix. macFUSE currently isn't packaged in Nixpkgs mainly because it includes a kernel extension, which isn't supported by Nix outside of NixOS.

If a package fails to run on macOS with an error message similar to the following, it's a likely sign that you need to have macFUSE installed.
