Error when executing nix-shell in plutus-apps

Question

I am getting...

error: experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features flakes' to override

...when trying to run nix-shell from plutus-apps repo.

Does anybody know how I can enable flakes?

I am using the latest commit 7952b9d30d15779a7fd8103bdbc9612d5df18ec2.

There are two ways of fixing this issue:

Temporary

Add --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' when calling the nix-shell command.

Permanent

Edit either ~/.config/nix/nix.conf or /etc/nix/nix.conf and add:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

Thank you. I have edited the answer to include that link instead of the one from Nix.
