-And to bring the environment up use:
+And enable some Nix flags (alternatively you can add `--extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'` every time calling the `nix` command):
 ```bash
-nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop
+mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
+echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
 ```
 
-The `extra-experimental-features` can set globally by adding the following to `~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`:
-```
-experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+And to bring the environment up, just open a new shell terminal, go to the root folder of the repo and run:
+```bash
+nix  develop
 ```
 
-One can also use the [`direnv`](https://direnv.net/) (installation via Nix can be found [here](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv#installation)) to automatically load the environment when entering the main folder or using a plugin in your preferred IDE:
+This will download all dev deps and setup the environment accordingly.

+You can also use the [`direnv`](https://direnv.net/) to automatically load the environment when entering the main folder or using a plugin in your preferred IDE:
 - `vscode`: [mkhl.direnv](https://github.com/direnv/direnv-vscode)
 - `jet brains`: [Direnv integration](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/15285-direnv-integration)
 
+Direnv can also be easily installed with Nix (or [HomeBrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/direnv) if you prefer):
+```bash
+nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA direnv
+```
+
+Now you just to add the direnv hook to your shell:
+```bash
+echo 'eval "$(direnv hook bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
+# or for ZSH
+echo 'eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+Now next time you open a new shell terminal and go to repo's folder you environment will update and load automatically.
