 # How to Contribute
 
+### Development with Nix
+
+It's entirely possible to contribute to Synthesis without using Nix, but some may
+prefer to use it. In order to use Nix with synthesis, you must first [install nix](https://nixos.org/download/),
+[enable flakes](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes#Setup), then you can enter
+one of shells with `nix develop` (e.g. `nix develop .#syntehsis`). You can also
+use [direnv](https://direnv.net/) to automatically enter into the relevant dev-shell.
