<p>I think you don't need to build plutus-pab dependency, if you already have nix installed you can also follow the steps written <a href="https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-apps/issues/195#issuecomment-1010108933" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>$ nix-build default.nix -A plutus-apps.haskell.packages.plutus-pab</p>
<p>then reboot. seemed to work for me.</p>

<p>(macOS Catalina) I found that executing the</p>
<blockquote>
nix-build -A plutus-pab
</blockquote>
in bash (rather than zsh) allowed for a successful build at that point. I don't know why or if this is reproducible.
Also, I suggest running
<blockquote>
cd plutus<br>
git pull<br>
cd ../plutus-apps<br>
git pull<br>
</blockquote>
before doing any builds.
