+# ZK Development
+
+Zero.nix provides the `sp1` and `sp1-rust` packages to make it
+easy to setup a nix development shell with sp1 tooling.
+
+To use them create a flake.nix with the following contents:
+```nix
+{{#include ../../templates/zk-development/flake.nix}}
+```
+You can also run the following command to initialize the template.
+```bash
+nix flake init -t github:timewave-computer/zero.nix#zk-dev
+
+```
+
+Then run `nix develop` to enter a devshell with the packages.
+
