+# Nix - Development Environment
+
+Nix is probably the easiest way of setting up the development environment.
+
+Before you start please make sure you have Nix installed. 
+If you don't have it installed, you can install it by following official documentation.
+
+[Nix installation instructions](https://nixos.org/download/)
+
+Once you have Nix installed, you can start your development environment
+by going to the project folder and running following command:
+
+```bash
+nix-shell
+```
+
+> If you are using Nix for the first time, it might take a while to download all the dependencies.
+
+> To achieve full isolation, use `nix-shell --pure` command. This way nix will isolate your development environment from the system.
+
+That's all, after running this command you will have all the necessary tools and dependencies.
+Nix will create a new shell with all the necessary tools and dependencies for the project.
+
+By default, we’re using [Starship](https://starship.rs/) to provide a nice bash prompt.
+You can override it by creating `/.nix/shell/starship.toml` based on `/.nix/shell/starship.toml.dist` 
+file. 
+
+Once you apply your modification you can run `nix-shell` again to apply changes.
+
+To use the php version from nix inside your IDE please start a nix shell `nix-shell`
+and type: 
+
+```shell
+type php
+```
+
+This should return you path to your php version that is used inside of the nix shell.
+It will look like this: 
+
+```shell
+php is /nix/store/p2m5bamh01ncpwjxscdl11p2m9xy8aq6-php-with-extensions-8.2.27/bin/php
+```
+
+## php.ini
+
+Nix shell comes with predefined php.ini, but if for any reason
+it wouldn't be enough for you, you can create your own php.ini file in path:
+
+`./.nix/php/lib/php.ini`
+
+If that file is not present, the default php.ini.dist from the same location will be used.
+
+## Pcov
+
+- `pcov` - required for code coverage
+
+To skip installing pcov extension, you can run nix shell with `--arg with-pco false` flag:
+
+```shell
+
+nix-shell --arg with-pcov false
+```
+
+To configure pcov, you can create a file `./.nix/php/lib/pcov.ini` with your xdebug configuration.
+
+## Xdebug
+
+- `xdebug` - required for debugging
+
+To install xdebug extension, you can run nix shell with `--arg with-xdebug true` flag:
+
+```shell
+nix-shell --arg with-xdebug true
+```
+
+To configure xdebug, you can create a file `./.nix/php/lib/xdebug.ini` with your xdebug configuration.
+
+## Blackfire
+
+- `blackfire` - required for profiling
+
+To install blackfire extension, you can run nix shell with `--arg with-blackfire true` flag:
+
+```shell
+nix-shell --arg with-blackfire true
+```
+
+To configure blackfire, you can create a file `./.nix/php/lib/blackfire.ini` with your blackfire configuration.
+
+## Changing PHP Versions
+
+To change the PHP version, you can run nix shell with `--arg php-version 8.3` flag:
+
+```shell
+nix-shell --arg php-version 8.3
+```
+
+> In general, it's not recommended to change the PHP version, as development should always
+> be done on the lowest supported PHP version. 
+>
+> This feature is mostly for testing new integrations
+> or lowest/highest versions of dependencies.
+
+## Local Webserver
+
+To run the local webserver for Flow Website development, please use Symfony CLI app
+that is also available in nix shell.
+
+```shell
+cd web/landing
+symfony proxy:start
+symfony server:start -d 
+```
+
+You can read more about it here:
