+## Quick start for Linux/WSL and Devbox
+In the repository you will find a `devbox.json`. If you have devbox installed you can simply setup a ready to go container by running:
+```shell
+devbox shell
+```
+then inside the container compile with:
+```shell
+latexmk
+```
+Alternatively you can launch VSCode/VSCodium inside the devbox and compile with the LaTeX workstation plugin.
+
 ## Files created during build
 The build process of latexmk will create two folders for storing temporary cache files for faster rebuilds. The primary folder being `.tmp` which will hold every created .aux file. Additionally the resulting pdf file will be located besides main.tex as well as an index file called `main.synctex.gz` used for indexing between main.tex and main.pdf (unused by VSCode, used by Overleaf).
 
 Build files:
 - main.pdf
 - main.synctex.gz
