+# 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
+nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use nrdxp"
+
+nix-shell https://github.com/divnix/devos/archive/core.tar.gz -A shell \
+  --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](../integrations/cachix.md) is added for faster deployment.
+
+> ##### _Notes:_
+> - 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.
+> - If the `nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use nrdxp"` line doesn't work
+>   you can try with sudo: `sudo nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use nrdxp"`
+
+## Next Steps:
+- [Make installable ISO](./iso.md)
+- [Bootstrap Host](./bootstrapping.md)
+- [Already on NixOS](./from-nixos.md)
