+# Nix package manager on another OS (no nix-env). 100% Declarative setup.
+
+Including Gentoo of course. Nixtoo Genux!
+
+## Files:
+
+1. `flake.nix`: Put packages here. Includes a dev shell and flakey.
+2. `aliasrc-additions.zsh`:  Aliases to make it easier to use the setup. Very mandatory.
+3. `INSTALL.sh`: Installs this setup. Install it after installing
+the multi-user installation of nix from the [official website using curl into shell](https://nixos.org/download/) or
+(for Gentoo) from`sys-apps/nix` from [Trofi's nix-guix-gentoo
+overlay](https://github.com/trofi/nix-guix-gentoo)
+
+## Aliases:
+`nix-install <package>`: Add a package to the file (uses sed) and rebuild.
+`nix-uninstall <package>`: Remove a package from the file (uses sed) and rebuild.
+`nix-update`: Update and rebuild the system.
+`nix-rebuild`: Rebuild the system but don't update.
+`nix-develop`: Makes a nix dev shell for the system. Redundant when using flakey (default).
