-## Installation
+## Contents
 
-The binary name for the renku-cli is `rnk`.
-
-### Manual Download
-
-You can download the binary for your platform from the [release
-page](https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-cli/releases/latest).
-
-If you run on MacOS, download the `*-darwin` binary. If you run some
-form of linux, try `*-amd64` or `*-aarch64`. Last for Windows use the
-`*-windows` binary.
-
-Once downloaded, you can simply execute it without any further
-installation step.
-
-#### shell completion
-
-For convenience, the cli tool can generate completion commands for
-several shells. You can use it for inclusion in your `.bashrc` or
-similar setups.
-
-For example:
-
-``` bash rnk:silent
-rnk shell-completion --shell bash
-```
-
-will generate the completions for bash. These have to be "sourced"
-into into your current shell:
-
-``` bash
-eval "$(rnk shell-completion --shell bash)"
-```
-
-Add this line to your `.bashrc` to have these completions available
-when you enter bash.
-
-With this enabled, when you type `rnk <tab>` you will be presented
-with possible options, that are narrowed down the more letters you
-type.
-
-### Nix User
-
-If you are a nix user and have flakes enabled, you can install rnk
-from this repository:
-
-```
-nix profile install github:SwissDatascienceCenter/renku-cli
-```
-
-If you want to try it out without installing:
-```
-nix run github:SwissDatascienceCenter/renku-cli
-```
-
-When installing the package via `install` or including it into your
-NixOS configuration, the shell completions are already installed.

+# Install
+
+The binary name for the renku-cli is `rnk`.
+
+## Manual
+
+You can download the binary for your platform from the [release
+page](https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-cli/releases/latest).
+
+If you run on MacOS, download the `*-darwin` binary. If you run some
+form of linux, try `*-amd64` or `*-aarch64`. Last for Windows use the
+`*-windows` binary.
+
+Once downloaded, you can simply execute it without any further
+installation step.
+
+## Nix and NixOS
+
+### Nix
+
+If you are a [nix](https://nixos.org/nix) user and have flakes
+enabled, you can install rnk from this repository:
+
+```
+nix profile install github:SwissDatascienceCenter/renku-cli/<version>
+```
+
+If `/<version>` is omitted, it will install the current development
+version right off the `main` branch.
+
+If you want to try it out without installing:
+```
+nix run github:SwissDatascienceCenter/renku-cli
+```
+
+When installing the package via `install` or including it into your
+NixOS configuration, the shell completions are already installed.
+
+### NixOS
+
+When you are a NixOS user, you can include the flake and select the
+provided package in your `configuration.nix`. Here is an example:
+
+``` nix
+{
+  description = "Example rnk for NixOS";
+
+  inputs = {
+    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";
+    rnk.url = "github:SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-cli/<version>";
+  };
+
+  outputs = inputs @ {
+    self,
+    nixpkgs,
+    rnk,
+    ...
+  }: let
+    system = "x86_64-linux";
+
+    overlays = [
+      # ... more of your overlays
+      rnk.overlays.default
+    ];
+
+    pkgsBySystem = system:
+      import nixpkgs {
+        inherit system;
+        inherit overlays;
+      };
+
+    modules = [
+      {
+        # build as a container to remove the need for specific
+        # filesystems
+        boot.isContainer = true;
+        system.stateVersion = "24.05";
+        # set pkgs to be the one with overlays applied
+        nixpkgs.pkgs = pkgsBySystem system;
+      }
+
+      # select rnk as a package in your modules
+      ({pkgs, ...}: {environment.systemPackages = [pkgs.rnk];})
+    ];
+  in {
+    nixosConfigurations.mymachine = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
+      inherit system modules;
+      specialArgs = inputs;
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The above configuration can be build into a NixOS system:
+``` bash
+nix build .#nixosConfigurations.mymachine.config.system.build.toplevel
+```
+
+If you are not using flakes, you can import the derivation from
+`default.nix`.
+
+You can omit `/<version>` in the input url, if you want to install
+latest development version, otherwise replace `<version>` with an
+existing tag.
+
+## Linux and Mac User
+
+The convenient way is to use the `installer.sh` script that is
+provided from this repository. It will download the correct binary
+from the release page and put it in `/usr/local/bin` on your system.
+It requires `curl` and `sudo` to copy the binary to `/usr/local/bin`.
+
+```
+curl -sfSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-cli/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+If you want to uninstall, simply remove the `/usr/local/bin/rnk` file.
+
+
+## Shell Completion
+
+For convenience, the cli tool can generate completion commands for
+several shells. You can use it for inclusion in your `.bashrc` or
+similar setups.
+
+For example:
+
+``` bash rnk:silent
+rnk shell-completion --shell bash
+```
+
+will generate the completions for bash. These have to be "sourced"
+into into your current shell:
+
+``` bash
+eval "$(rnk shell-completion --shell bash)"
+```
+
+Add this line to your `.bashrc` to have these completions available
+when you enter bash.
+
+With this enabled, when you type `rnk <tab>` you will be presented
+with possible options, that are narrowed down the more letters you
+type.
