 My NixOS configuration.
 
-## Usage
+## Installation
 
-Clone the repository to some directory. And build with `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /directory/containing/flake.nix/`.
+For disk configuration we use disko, this means that installing the system from the configuration is just a single command:
+
+```
+sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run "github:nix-community/disko/latest#disko-install" -- --flake git+https://git.bulthuis.dev/Jan/dotfiles#<hostname> --disk main /dev/sda
+```
