### Step 1: Choose a Disk Configuration
Configurations for the most common disk layouts are provided in the
[examples directory](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/tree/master/example)
of the `disko` repository. Decide which of these layouts best suits your
requirements. If you're not sure which layout to pick, use the
[hybrid](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/hybrid.nix)
Real-world templates are provided in this [repository](https://github.com/nix-community/disko-templates).
More disk layouts for all filesystems can be also found in the
[example](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/tree/master/example) directory
of disko. However these examples are also used for regression tests in disko and
may have uncommon options in them to fully exercise all features of disko, that
you may need to change or remove.
Decide which of these layouts best suits your requirements. If you're not sure
which layout to pick, use the
[single-disk-ext4](https://github.com/nix-community/disko-templates/blob/main/single-disk-ext4/disko-config.nix)
configuration. This layout is compatible with both BIOS and EFI systems.
Refer to the [reference manual](./reference.md) for more information about the
sample layouts and how to build your own configuration.
Once you've chosen your layout, you'll need to make a note of the URL to the raw
file. To do this, open the file in Github. Immediately below the list of
contributors, you will see a button labelled 'RAW' near the right hand side.
Click this. The URL of the raw file will appear in the search bar of your
browser. It will look something like this:
To copy a template use this command in your nixos configuration directory:
```
nix flake init --template github:nix-community/disko-templates#single-disk-ext4
```
This will write a file called `disko-config.nix` into the current directory.
Import this file in your NixOS configuration:
```nix
{
imports = [ ./disko-config.nix ];
}
```
If you want to choose a layout from the disko example directory instead, you'll
need to make a note of the URL to the raw file. To do this, open the file in
Github. Immediately below the list of contributors, you will see a button
labelled 'RAW' near the right hand side. Click this. The URL of the raw file
will appear in the search bar of your browser. It will look something like this:
