What's Wrong?

I get the error "flake.nix: No such file or directory" when trying to install from source. When I try to compile from source I get the following error:

error: path '/home/badams/crossplane' is not part of a flake (neither it nor its parent directories contain a 'flake.nix' file)

Thanks for reporting this @elliotechne. I just tried the instructions again now on my machine and they started building OK. What is in that crossplane directory? did the git clone work OK? what do things like ls -al ,git status, and git show HEAD show?

@jbw976 I used the latest branch and it seems to have cleared that error up. Now I get the following error when trying to compile from source:

badams@U-2GFYMTKEBBKY4:~/crossplane$ sudo nix build --extra-experimental-features flakes --extra-experimental-features nix-command
