### Step 5: Run disko to partition, format and mount your disks
### Step 5: Adjust the device in the disk configuration
Inside the disko-config.nix the device needs to point to the correct disk name.
Open the configuration in your favorite editor i.e.:
```
nano /tmp/disko-config.nix
```
The following step will partition and format your disk, and mount it to `/mnt`.
Replace `<disk-name>` with the name of your disk obtained in Step 1.
Please note: This will erase any existing data on your disk.
```
$ sudo nix run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /tmp/disko-config.nix --arg disks '[ "/dev/<disk-name>" ]'
