# Setup steps for new project

Make a .ruby-version file with your chosen ruby version. Create a Gemfile with your gems. Run the following commands to make a lockfile.
```bash
nix flake init --template github:bobvanderlinden/nixpkgs-ruby#
nix develop
bundle lock
bundix
```
Now you can add gems to the buildInputs and enable direnv. Reload the environment and you are ready to work with your chosen version of Ruby and associated Gems.
```bash
direnv allow <foldername>
```
