0. If you're already on NixOS and / or have worked with `flakes` before, jump to **2.**
1. [Install nix, the package manager](https://nixos.org/download.html)

    1. Now, make sure you're ready to `nix` with flakes, this should give you
    some output:
    ```
    nix flake --help
    ```
    2. Otherwise, proceed to enable flakes (still an experimental feature in
    `nix`):
       https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Installing_flakes

2. Get this nix flake template, it will be setup in a new directory
`./tritonshell` (feel free to adjust this):
```
nix flake new --template "git+https://git.greenbaum.cloud/dev/tritonshell?ref=main" ./tritonshell
cd tritonshell
```

3. Adjust `./flake.nix` to match domains and data centers of your Triton Data
Center setup. Look for the `CUSTOMIZE` comment.
```
vim ./flake.nix
```

4. Ready to go:
```
nix develop
```


**Optional**:
If you'd like to customize your new tritonshell with additional packages, you
can do so: just edit `flake.nix` and look for `extraDevshellPkgs`. Packages
added here will be pulled from the `nixos-unstable` channel, you can [search
for available packages here](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=hello).
