## Development requirements

1. Install [Nix][nix] and enable support for [flakes][flakes]
2. Install [direnv][direnv] and [nix-direnv][nix-direnv]

[nix]: https://nixos.org/download.html
[flakes]: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Enable_flakes
[direnv]: https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html
[nix-direnv]: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv#installation

**NOTE:** if you use a graphical IDE, you must `cd` into the project directory
to load the environment with `direnv` and then start the IDE from the command
line from that same shell so it inherits the environment properly.
