 * run benchmarks (you can provide [JMH][jmh] arguments in the end): `sbt benchmarksJVM/jmh:run`
 
 If you don't already have `sbt`, or if you'd like an isolated environment for development on this project, you may use the Nix shell. 
-For that, you just need to have the [Nix package manager][nix] installed on your machine, and then from this project's root folder run `nix-shell`.
+For that, you must have the [Nix package manager][nix-download] installed on your machine, and you need to enable [Nix flakes][nix-flakes] and [Nix command][nix-command]. 
+With those prerequisites, from this project's root folder you just need to run `nix develop`.
+If you just want to enable the experimental Nix features (command and flakes) locally and temporarily, add the `--extra-experimental-features nix-command` and the `--extra-experimental-features flakes` option/argument pairs to the `nix develop` command.
