+### Nix
+
+On Mac and Linux, the Nix package manager can be used via
+```
+nix profile install nixpkgs#llama-cpp
+```
+For flake enabled installs.
+
+Or
+```
+nix-env --file '<nixpkgs>' --install --attr llama-cpp
+```
+For non-flake enabled installs.
+
+This expression is automatically updated within the [nixpkgs repo](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-24.05/pkgs/by-name/ll/llama-cpp/package.nix#L164).
+
+#### Flox
+
+On Mac and Linux, Flox can be used to install llama.cpp within a Flox environment via
+```
+flox install llama-cpp
+```
+Flox follows the nixpkgs build of llama.cpp.
