user5906: I'm trying to replicate what Lars was demonstrating at the start of the week03 testnet setup video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABtffZPoUqU&list=PLNEK_Ejlx3x2zxcfoVGARFExzOHwXFCCL&index=6 (time 0:49-1:05), but after picking the hydra binaries, he is magically in a nix-shell and able to do cardano-node --version.
My question is what steps were done after downloading the binaries in order to be able from run cardano-node from a nix-shell?  I'm new to nix so not always sure what has to be done to get things working.
I've tried just running the nix-shell, which spent quite a while updating dependencies, but in the end cardano-node didn't exist - ie running cardano-node --version in shell did nothing, neither did 'which cardano-node'.
Can someone please provide specific steps to get cardano-node running in the nix-shell.  Thanks
