+= Access a non-flake package (not in nixpkgs)
+
+////
+$ mkdir tempwork

+$ nix develop

+$ git commit -a -m temp
+////
+
+In this example, we will use a nix package (not a flake) defined in a remote git repo.
+However, you can use any of the flake reference styles defined in <<#flakeref>>.
+
+We already covered how to add a non-flake input to a flake and build it in <<#devshell-nix-non-flake>>;
+here we will focus on making it available at runtime.
+We will write a flake to package a very simple shell script.
+All it does is invoke `hello-nix`, which is the input we added <<#devshell-nix-non-flake,earlier>>.
+
+[source,shell,linenums]
+.hello-again
+....
+$# cat hello-again
+....
+
+[source,nix,linenums,highlight='31..33,36']
+.flake.nix
+....
+$# cat flake.nix
+....
+
+Lines 5-8 and 17 were explained in <<#devshell-nix-non-flake>>.
+As expected, we need to add `helloNix` as a build input, which we do in line 36.
+That does make it available at build and runtime, but it doesn't put it on the path,
+so our `hello-again` script won't be able to find it.
+
+There are various ways to deal with this problem.
+In this case we simply edited the script as we install it,
+by specifying the full path to `hello-nix`.
+
+Here's a demonstration using the shell.
