+* Install git: `nix-env -i git`
+* Clone configuration: `git clone https://github.com/willprice/nixos-config.git`
+* Follow the [installation guide](https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-installation) up to `nixos-generate-config`
+  * Copy nixos configuration files to `/mnt`: `cp nixos-config/* /mnt/etc/nixos`
+  * Generate hardware config: `nixos-generate-config`
+  * Install system: `nixos-install` (set root password)
+* Reboot
+* Login as root
+* Set password for `will`: `passwd will`
+* Log out and login as `will` setting `mate+xmonad` as desktop session
+* Generate an SSH key for the new machine: `ssh-keygen`
+* [Add SSH key to github profile](https://github.com/settings/ssh/new)
