## How to use disko
Disko doesn't require installation: it can be run directly from nix-community repository. The [Quickstart Guide](./docs/quickstart.md) documents how to run Disko in its simplest form when installing NixOS.

## Quickstart Guide
This tutorial describes how to install NixOS on a single disk system using `disko`. You will also need to refer to the NixOS manual, which is available [here.](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#ex-config)
Please note that `disko` will reformat the entire disk and overwrite any existing partitions. Dual booting with other operating systems is not supported.
## Step 1: Choose a Disk Configuration
### Step 1: Choose a Disk Configuration
Configurations for the most common disk layouts are provided in the [examples directory](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/tree/master/example) of the `disko` repository. Decide which of these layouts best suits your requirements. If you're not sure which layout to pick, use the [hybrid](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/hybrid.nix) configuration. This layout is compatible with both BIOS and EFI systems.

## Step 2: Boot the installer
### Step 2: Boot the installer
Download the NixOS ISO image from the NixOS [download page](https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-iso), and create a bootable USB drive following the instructions in [Section 2.4.1 "Booting from a USB flash drive"](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-booting-from-usb) of the NixOS manual. Boot the machine from this USB drive.

### Step 6: Complete the NixOS installation.
Your disks have now been formatted and mounted, and you are ready to complete the NixOS installation as described in the [NixOS manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-installation) - see the section headed "**Installing**", Steps 3 onwards. However, you will need to include the partitioning and formatting configurations that you copied into `/tmp/disko-config.nix` in your configuration, rather than allowing NixOS to generate information about your file systems. When you are configuring the system as per Step 4 of the manual, you should:
