+Tutorial: install and configure NixOS for nix-bitcoin on VirtualBox (macOS host)
+---
+## 1. VirtualBox installation (macOS)
+The following steps are meant to be run on the machine you deploy from, not the machine you deploy to.
+
+1. Download and install VirtualBox
+	Use the official Downloads page: [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
+
+	Make sure that the installer you download shows a lock icon in the top right corner to make sure it is signed by Oracle.
+
+2. Create Host Adapter in VirtualBox
+
+	```
+	vboxmanage hostonlyif create
+	```
+
+## 2. Nix installation (macOS)
+
+Follow the instructions from [Nix installation on debian](#2-nix-installation). You will may need to replace `gpg2` with `gpg`.
+
+## 3. LinuxKit Nix installation
+In order to build binaries for your linux (NixOS) virtual machine on a macOS host machine, you need to use [linuxkit-nix](https://github.com/nix-community/linuxkit-nix). It uses hyperkit to spin up a separate VM on which it builds binaries. An alternative solution is [nix-docker-build-slave](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-docker/blob/master/start-docker-nix-build-slave).
+
+1. Installation
+
+	```
+	nix-env -i /nix/store/jgq3savsyyrpsxvjlrz41nx09z7r0lch-linuxkit-builder
+    nix-linuxkit-configure
+	```
+
+	You may want to use `nix-linuxkit-configure -c 4` to give the builder 4 CPUs.
+
+2. Confirm that nix-linuxkit works
+
+    ```
+	nix-build /Users/lev/.cache/nix-linuxkit-builder/example.nix
+	```
+
+	As the installer says, run a `nix-build` to make sure that you are able to build linux binaries. The `example.nix` is specifically configured to force a x86_64-linux build. Remove the generated `result` folder afterwards.
+
+## 4. Nixops deployment (macOS)
+
+Follow the instructions from [Nixops deployment on debian](#3-nixops-deployment). Add  `--option system x86_64-linux` to the `nixops deploy` command in step 5 to force your system to use linuxkit-nix.
