 ## Nix package manager
 
-Go to the NixOS website to install the Nix package manager for [macOS](https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos) or [Linux](https://nixos.org/download.html).
-
-Nix manages all packages within the Nix store which needs to be located at `/nix`. The store location in integral to how Nix is able to determine the location of packages, and cannot be moved. In addition, `/nix` cannot be a symlink because of the requirement to mount paths for builds. The installation script guides you through the setup process of creating the Nix store and other requirements with minimal interaction.
-
-If you’d like to audit the script to alleviate any security concern, you can view it [here](https://nixos.org/nix/install).

-# Configuration

-## Nix Flakes
-
-[Nix Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) are the new canonical way to expose Nix packages. The [exposed packages](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Output_schema) can be normal Nix packages, [overlays](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Overlays), [modules](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Module), or even [entire systems](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Using_nix_flakes_with_NixOS). The `flake.nix` file is used to communicate what is exposed and the `flake.lock` file is used to ensure that all dependencies are captured in an immutable fashion.
-
-You will need to edit the Nix configuration file to enable Nix Flakes.
-
-```
-sudo vim /etc/nix/nix.conf
-```
-
-Add the following line to the file:
+To install and configure the Nix package manager, please run:
 
 ```
-experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+./scripts/install_nix.sh
 ```
