 ## Setting up
 
-### With Nix
+### With GitHub Codespaces
 
-Make sure Nix and `direnv` are installed on your machine
+If you prefer not to wrestle with setting up Nix (or installing NixOS in that matter),
+you can utilize GitHub Codespaces (or another cloud dev environment service that
+supports the Dev Containers configuration standard).
+
+[![Open in GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg)](https://codespaces.new/andreijirohdev-labs/studentops-codelab)
+
+### With Nix locally
+
+Make sure Nix and `direnv` are installed on your machine, specifically you must
+have both `nix-command` and `flakes` experimental features enabled on your
+`~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`, otherwise you need to add
+`--experimental-features 'nix-command flakes` on your flags.
+
+Once everything is set up, allow direnv to source out the `.envrc` file at the
+project root by running `direnv allow`. It will take a while to get the needed
+dependencies, especially if you don't have admin permissions to add your Linux
+user account as a trsuted user for the daemon (since it utilizes Cachix caches).
