 ### requirements
+
+#### manual
 [Racket](https://download.racket-lang.org/)
 
+#### package manager
+- Void Linux: `xbps-install racket`
+- Debian: `apt install racket`
+
 ### installation
-1. Run `make install` or `raco pkg install`
-2. Add `$HOME/.racket/7.9/bin` to your `$PATH`
-   (replacing `7.9` with whatever version you have installed)
+`make build && make install` will build and copy `tt` binary into `$PREFIX/bin`.
+
+### configuration
+Put your `<nick>` and `<uri>` into `~/.tt/me`. For example, mine is:
+
+```
+$ cat ~/.tt/me
+xandkar https://xandkar.net/twtxt.txt
+```
+It will be used to fill the `User-Agent` header, so that others can tell you're
+reading their twtxts and perhaps read yours. This isn't strictly necessary and
+if omitted, you'll stay anonymous.
