# Getting Started
Create your own clan with these initial steps and manage a fleet of machines with one single testable git repository!
### Prerequisites
=== "**Linux**"
Clan depends on nix installed on your system. Run the following command to install nix.
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
```
If you already have installed Nix, make sure you have the `nix-command` and `flakes` configuration enabled in your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf.
The determinate installer already comes with this configuration by default.
```bash
# /etc/nix/nix.conf or ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
```
=== "**NixOS**"
If you run NixOS the `nix` binary is already installed.
You will also need to enable the `flakes` and `nix-commands` experimental features in your configuration.nix:
```nix
{ nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ]; }
```
=== "**Other**"
Clan doesn't offer dedicated support for other operating systems yet.
### Step 1: Add Clan CLI to Your Shell
Add the Clan CLI into your development workflow:
```bash
nix shell git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core#clan-cli
```
You can find reference documentation for the `clan` cli program [here](../reference/cli/index.md).
Alternatively you can check out the help pages directly:
```terminalSession
clan --help
```
### Step 2: Initialize Your Project
Set the foundation of your Clan project by initializing it as follows:
```bash
clan flakes create my-clan
```
This command creates the `flake.nix` and `.clan-flake` files for your project.
It will also generate files from a default template, to help show general clan usage patterns.
### Step 3: Verify the Project Structure
Ensure that all project files exist by running:
```bash
cd my-clan
tree
```
This should yield the following:
``` { .console .no-copy }
.
├── flake.nix
├── machines
│   ├── jon
│   │   ├── configuration.nix
│   │   └── hardware-configuration.nix
│   └── sara
│   ├── configuration.nix
│   └── hardware-configuration.nix
└── modules
└── shared.nix
5 directories, 9 files
```
```bash
clan machines list
```
``` { .console .no-copy }
jon
sara
```
!!! success
You just successfully bootstrapped your first clan directory.
