-## Nix
+## Nix + Direnv
 
 Using Stack's [Nix integration](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/nix_integration/), Stack will take care of installing any system
 dependencies automatically - including `cryptobox-c`. If new system dependencies are needed, add them to the `stack-deps.nix` file in the project root.
-Just type `$ nix-shell` and you will automatically have `make`, `docker-compose` and `stack` in `PATH`.
+
+If you have `direnv` and `nix`, you will automatically have `make`, `docker-compose` and `stack` in `PATH` once you `cd` into the project root and `direnv allow`.
 You can then run all the builds, and the native dependencies will be automatically present.
