-# Filing a Nix issue
-
-*WAIT* Are you sure you're filing your issue in the right repository?
-
-We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about issues you encounter, but routing the issue to the right place will get you help sooner and save everyone time.
-
-This is the Nix repository, and issues here should be about Nix the build and package management *_tool_*.
-
-If you have a problem with a specific package on NixOS or when using Nix, you probably want to file an issue with _nixpkgs_, whose issue tracker is over at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues.
-
-Examples of _Nix_ issues:
-
-- Nix segfaults when I run `nix-build -A blahblah`
-- The Nix language needs a new builtin: `builtins.foobar`
-- Regression in the behavior of `nix-env` in Nix 2.0
-
-Examples of _nixpkgs_ issues:
-
-- glibc is b0rked on aarch64
-- chromium in NixOS doesn't support U2F but google-chrome does!
-- The OpenJDK package on macOS is missing a key component
-
-Chances are if you're a newcomer to the Nix world, you'll probably want the [nixpkgs tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues). It also gets a lot more eyeball traffic so you'll probably get a response a lot more quickly.

-Nix, the purely functional package manager
-------------------------------------------
+Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package
+management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the [Nix manual](https://nixos.org/nix/manual)
+for more details.
 
-Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its
-purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't
-appear with Nix.
+## Installation
 
-To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please
-read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at
-<https://nixos.org/nix/manual>.
+On Linux and macOS the easiest way to Install Nix is to run the following shell command
+(as a user other than root):
 
-## Contributing
+```
+$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
+```
 
-Take a look at the [Hacking Section](https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-hacking)
-of the manual. It helps you to get started with building Nix from source.
+Information on additional installation methods is available on the [Nix download page](https://nixos.org/download.html).
+
+## Building And Developing
+
+### Building Nix
+
+You can build Nix using one of the targets provided by [release.nix](./release.nix):
+
+```
+$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.aarch64-linux
+$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.x86_64-darwin
+$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.i686-linux
+$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
+```
+
+### Development Environment
+
+You can use the provided `shell.nix` to get a working development environment:
+
+```
+$ nix-shell
+$ ./bootstrap.sh
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+```
+
