+## Nix / NixOS
+
+In addition to the community efforts listed above, preCICE and several of the bindings and adapters are available for Nix in the [precice/nix-packages repository](https://github.com/precice/nix-packages/).
+
+If you are using Nix (or NixOS for that matter), you can simply run the command
+
+```sh
+nix shell github:precice/nix-packages#precice-calculix-adapter github:precice/nix-packages#precice-openfoam-adapter
+```
+
+for instance, which will drop you into a shell with the CalculiX adapter and the OpenFOAM adapter accessible.
+For more information, please consult the `README.md` file in the repository.
+All available outputs of the Nix flake can be shown by running `nix flake show github:precice/nix-packages`.
+
+The Nix flake also contains the outputs `vm`, `iso` and `vagrant-vbox-image`, which output a VM in several formats containing a remake of the [preCICE distribution v2211.0](installation-vm.html).
+To run the preCICE VM you can, on a NixOS system, simply run `nix run github:precice/nix-packages`.
+Note that this will build all the components needed for the preCICE VM locally on your machine, if they cannot be fetched from the upstream binary cache.
+A full build of the VM can take several hours, depending on the hardware used.
+For more options have a look at the [readme](https://github.com/precice/nix-packages#readme) in the repository.
+
+For all packages available upstream, see the [NixOS search](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=precice).
