# Quick Start
The only dependency is nix, so make sure you have it [installed][install-nix].
## Get the Template
Here is a snippet that will get you the template without the git history:
```sh
2021-02-18 01:31:33 +00:00
nix-shell -p cachix --run cachix use divnix
2021-02-18 01:31:33 +00:00
nix-shell https://github.com/divnix/devos/archive/core.tar.gz -A shell \
2021-02-14 02:38:20 +00:00
--run "flk get core"
cd flk
nix-shell
git init
git add .
git commit -m init
```
This will place you in a new folder named `flk` with git initialized, and a
nix-shell that provides all the dependencies, including the unstable nix
version required.
In addition, the [binary cache](../../cachix) is added for faster deployment.
> ##### _Notes:_
2021-02-15 00:41:15 +00:00
> - You can change `core` to [`community`](../../index.md#community-profiles)
2021-02-14 02:38:20 +00:00
> in the call to `flk get`
> - Flakes ignore files that have not been added to git, so be sure to stage new
> files before building the system.
> - You can choose to simply clone the repo with git if you want to follow
> upstream changes.
