 ### Run from Source (macOS)
 
+If you have [Nix](https://nixos.org/) installed, you can skip most of the steps below and run exo directly:
+
+```bash
+nix run .#exo
+```
+
+**Note:** To accept the Cachix binary cache (and avoid the Xcode Metal ToolChain), add to `/etc/nix/nix.conf`:
+```
+trusted-users = root    (or your username)
+experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+```
+Then restart the Nix daemon: `sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon`
+
 **Prerequisites:**
+- [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) (provides the Metal ToolChain required for MLX compilation)
 - [brew](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew) (for simple package management on macOS)
-  
+
   ```bash
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   ```
 - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (for Python dependency management)
 - [macmon](https://github.com/vladkens/macmon) (for hardware monitoring on Apple Silicon)
 - [node](https://github.com/nodejs/node) (for building the dashboard)

-//!
-//! Mutability pattern: https://pyo3.rs/v0.26.0/async-await.html#send--static-constraint
