The easiest way is to try out nix-bitcoin is to use one of the provided examples.
This requires that you either have NixOS installed or another Linux distribution with [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org).
```
git clone https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin
cd examples/
nix-shell
```
Now you can run `./deploy-nixops.sh` to install nix-bitcoin in a VirtualBox or `./deploy-container.sh` to install in a [NixOS container](https://github.com/erikarvstedt/extra-container).
This will set up a nix-bitcoin according to `examples/configuration.nix` and then shut down immediately.
