+# Installing 
+
+Developing across multiple operating systems can be pretty annoying! Mac `bash` is different than Arch `bash`, which is different than Windows `powershell`. 😵‍💫
+
+We can use `nu` to bring some consistency.
+
+With a Rust toolchain:
+
+```sh
+cargo install nu
+```
+
+Without a Rust toolchain:
+
+```sh
+# Windows
+winget install nu
+# Mac
+brew install nu
+# Arch Linux
+pacman -S nu
+```
+
+# Motivations
+
+## Consistent Builtins
+
+Things like `cp`, `rm`, and `ls` work consistently on `nu`. (Here's looking at `rm -rf` on Powershell...)
+
+## 
+
+# Working with it
+
+[Coming from Bash](https://www.nushell.sh/book/coming_from_bash.html) is quite helpful.
+
+`nu` works slightly differently than other shells in that it separates parsing and evaluation. More in [How Nushell Code Gets Run](https://www.nushell.sh/book/how_nushell_code_gets_run.html).
+
+## Piping to Files
+
+`nu` doesn't have a `>` pipe. Instead:
+
+```nu
+cat floof | save boop
+```
+
+For `>>`:
+
+```nu
+cat floof | save -a boop
+```
+
+## Parameter Expansion
+
+Different shells approach [parameter expansion](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Parameter-Expansion.html) differently.
+
+In `bash` we can do like:
+
+```bash
+./x.py --stage 2 dist $(ferrocene/ci/split-tasks.py dist)
+```
+
+While `fish` it looks like:
+
+```fish
+ ./x.py --stage 2 dist $(ferrocene/ci/split-tasks.py dist | string split " ")
+```
+
+On `nu` we do this:
+
+```nu
+ ./x.py --stage 2 dist ...(python ferrocene/ci/split-tasks.py dist | split row " ")
+```
