 ## Test Locally in a Nix Sandbox
 
-To run tests in a Nix sandbox, you have two options depending on whether your test functions have been marked as impure or not:
-
-### Running Tests Marked as Impure
-
-If your test functions need to execute `nix build` and have been marked as impure because you can't execute `nix build` inside a Nix sandbox, use the following command:
+To run tests in a Nix sandbox:
 
 ```bash
-nix run .#impure-checks -L
+nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.clan-pytest-with-core
 ```
 
-This command will run the impure test functions.
-
-### Running Pure Tests
-
-For test functions that have not been marked as impure and don't require executing `nix build`, you can use the following command:
-
 ```bash
-nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.clan-pytest --rebuild
+nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.clan-pytest-without-core
 ```
 
-This command will run all pure test functions.
-
 ### Inspecting the Nix Sandbox

 # :material-clock-fast: Getting Started
 
-Ready to create your own Clan and manage a fleet of machines? Follow these simple steps to get started.
+Ready to manage your fleet of machines? 
 
-This guide walks your through setting up your own declarative infrastructure using clan, git and flakes. By the end of this, you will have one or more machines integrated and installed. You can then import your existing NixOS configuration into this setup if you wish.
+We will create a declarative infrastructure using **clan**, **git**, and **nix flakes**.
 
-The following steps are meant to be executed on the machine on which to administer the infrastructure.
-
-In order to get started you should have at least one machine with either physical or ssh access available as an installation target. Your local machine can also be used as an installation target if it is already running NixOS.
+You'll finish with a centrally managed fleet, ready to import your existing NixOS configuration.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-=== "**Linux**"
+Make sure you have the following:
 
-    Clan requires Nix to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Nix:
+* 💻 **Administration Machine**: Run the setup commands from this machine.
+* 🛠️ **Nix**: The Nix package manager, installed on your administration machine.
+
+    ??? info "**How to install Nix (Linux / MacOS / NixOS)**"
+
+        **On Linux or macOS:**
+
+        1.  Run the recommended installer:
+            ```shellSession
+            curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L [https://install.determinate.systems/nix](https://install.determinate.systems/nix) | sh -s -- install
+            ```
+
+        2.  After installation, ensure flakes are enabled by adding this line to `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+            ```
+            experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+            ```
+
+        **On NixOS:**
+
+        Nix is already installed. You only need to enable flakes for your user in your `configuration.nix`:
+
+        ```nix
+        {
+          nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
+        }
+        ```
+        Then, run `nixos-rebuild switch` to apply the changes.
+
+* 🎯 **Target Machine(s)**: A remote machine with SSH, or your local machine (if NixOS).
+
+## Create a New Clan
+
+1. Navigate to your desired directory:
+    
+    ```shellSession
+    cd <your-directory>
+    ```
+
+2. Create a new clan flake:
+
+    **Note:** This creates a new directory in your current location
 
     ```shellSession
-    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
+    nix run https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core/archive/main.tar.gz#clan-cli --refresh -- flakes create
     ```
 
-    If you have previously installed Nix, make sure `experimental-features = nix-command flakes` is present in `~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`. If this is not the case, please add it to `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`.
+3. Enter a **name** in the prompt:
 
-=== "**NixOS**"
-
-    If you run NixOS the `nix` binary is already installed.
-
-    You will also need to enable the `nix-command` and `flakes` experimental features in your `configuration.nix`:
-
-    ```nix
-    { nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ]; }
+    ```terminalSession
+    Enter a name for the new clan: my-clan
     ```
 
-=== "**macOS**"
+## Project Structure
 
-    Clan requires Nix to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Nix:
+Your new directory, `my-clan`, should contain the following structure:
 
-    ```shellSession
-    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
-    ```
+```
+my-clan/
+├── clan.nix
+├── flake.lock
+├── flake.nix
+├── modules/
+└── sops/
+```
 
-    If you have previously installed Nix, make sure `experimental-features = nix-command flakes` is present in `~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`. If this is not the case, please add it to `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`.
+!!! note "Templates"
+    This is the structure for the `default` template. 
 
-## Create a new clan
+    Use `clan templates list` and `clan templates --help` for available templates & more. Keep in mind that the exact files may change as templates evolve.
 
-Initialize a new clan flake
+
+## Activate the Environment
+
+To get started, `cd` into your new project directory.
 
 ```shellSession
-nix run https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core/archive/main.tar.gz#clan-cli --refresh -- flakes create
+cd my-clan
 ```
 
-This should prompt for a *name*:
-
-```terminalSession
-Enter a name for the new clan: my-clan
-```
-
-Enter a *name*, confirm with *enter*. A directory with that name will be created and initialized.
-
-!!! Note
-    This command uses the `default` template
-
-    See `clan templates list` and the `--help` reference for how to use other templates.
-
-## Explore the Project Structure
-
-Take a look at all project files:
-For example, you might see something like:
-
-```{ .console .no-copy }
-$ cd my-clan
-$ ls
-clan.nix  flake.lock  flake.nix  modules  sops
-```
-
-
-
-Don’t worry if your output looks different — Clan templates evolve over time.
-
-To interact with your newly created clan the you need to load the `clan` cli-package it into your environment by running:
+Now, activate the environment using one of the following methods.
 
 === "Automatic (direnv, recommended)"
-    - prerequisite: [install nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv)
+    **Prerequisite**: You must have [nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv) installed.
 
+    Run `direnv allow` to automatically load the environment whenever you enter this directory.
     ```shellSession
     direnv allow
     ```
 
 === "Manual (nix develop)"
+    Run nix develop to load the environment for your current shell session.
 
     ```shellSession
     nix develop
     ```
 
-verify that you can run `clan` commands:
+## Verify the Setup
+
+Once your environment is active, verify that the clan command is available by running:
 
 ```shellSession
 clan show
 ```
 
-You should see something like this:
+You should see the default metadata for your new clan:
 
 ```shellSession
 Name: __CHANGE_ME__
 Description: None
 ```
 
-To change the name of your clan edit `meta.name` in the `clan.nix` or `flake.nix` file
+This confirms your setup is working correctly. 
+
+You can now change the default name by editing the `meta.name` field in your `clan.nix` file.
