After the initial setup of nix-direnv (instructions provided on the GitHub README), there is a [https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv/blob/master/templates/flake/flake.nix flake template] provided by the nix-direnv maintainers to get started. Run <code>nix flake new -t github:nix-community/nix-direnv .</code> to initialize the flake template in your current directory. This will create a `flake.nix` file that can be edited to setup the R-environment: | ||

You may need to manually specify other R-package/system dependencies for the specific package in the `propagatedBuildInputs`. This information can be found in the `DESCRIPTION` file of the R-package source directory. | ||
