Can't install etlas on NixOS

I am having trouble installing etlas on a NixOS machine. It looks like something is expecting to find bash under /bin/bash, which is not the case. Instead, /usr/bin/env bash should be used.
I don't stack enough to guess whether this is a bug in stack, or the etlas installation configuration.
I have tried the 1.3.0.0 tag as well as master as of 0ae4612. I am on NixOS 18.03.132865.411cc559c05.
Here's the output:
$ stack install etlas
Preparing to install GHC to an isolated location.
This will not interfere with any system-level installation.
Already downloaded.

The problem was user error. I simply needed to include the --nix flag:
$ stack --nix --nix-packages zlib install etlas
