+      This Nix expression requires that ${name} already be part of the store. To
+      obtain it you need to
+
+      - navigate to ${url}
+      - make sure that it says "Version ${version}" above the list of downloads 
+        - if it does not, click on the "Previous Version" link below the downloads
+          and repeat until the version is correct. This is necessarry because as the
+          time of this writing there exists no permanent link for the current version
+          yet.
+          Also consider updating this package yourself (you probably just need to
+          change the `version` variable and update the sha256 to the one of the
+          new file) or opening an issue at the nixpkgs repo.
+      - accept the license agreement
+      - download the file listed under "Other Platforms"
+      - sign in or create an oracle account if neccessary
+
+      and then add the file to the Nix store using either:
+
+        nix-store --add-fixed sha256 ${name}
+
+      or
+
+        nix-prefetch-url --type sha256 file:///path/to/${name}
