+
+## What is this??
+
+This repository is my multi-machine Nix configuration, written in a Nix flake!
+
+## How do I get this?
+
+Make sure the following is installed:
+
+- `git` (most operating systems come with git already installed)
+- `nix` (if you are on macOS or a non-NixOS system)
+
+If you don't have `git` installed and are running macOS, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo xcode-select
+```
+
+If you don't have `nix` installed and are running Linux, use the Determinate Nix Installer!
+
+```bash
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
+```
+
+If you don't have `nix` installed and are running macOS, use the Determinate Nix Installer!
+
+```bash
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
+```
+
+There's a separate installer Determinate System's
+
+## How do I run this?
+
+For NixOS systems:
+
+```bash
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>
+```
+
+For macOS systems:
+
+```bash
+nix run nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes -- switch --flake .#<hostname>
+```
+
+where `<hostname>` is the particular configuration you would like to run.
+
+Non-NixOS Linux systems should be coming soon!
