+## Setup
+
+### Nix
+
+If you are running Linux, macOS, or a Windows machine with WSL, this is the
+easiest setup. The only dependency is the
+[Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/download.html). Please select your
+platform and follow the instructions.
+
+Once Nix is installed,
+`cd [emergency-management-tools path]/flooding/sentinel2_water_extraction` and
+run `nix-shell` to install all the dependencies. This could take a long time the
+first time it runs.
+
+### Non-nix
 
-1. Clone this repository with
-   `git clone git@github.com:linz/emergency-management-tools.git`
-1. Go to the relevant directory with
-   `cd emergency-management-tools/flooding/sentinel2_water_extraction`
+If you can't use Nix, you will need the following. For each prerequisite, the
+[automatically tested](.github/workflows/test.yml) version is included.
