 Expect nothing to work! Only very limited JS is currently supported. See files in `bench` for examples.
 
 ### Setup
-1. Clone this repo (`git clone https://github.com/CanadaHonk/porffor.git`)
-2. `npm install` - for parser(s)
+**`npm install -g porffor`**. It's that easy (hopefully) :)
 
-### Running a file
-The repos comes with easy alias files for Unix and Windows, which you can use like so:
-- Unix: `./porf path/to/script.js`
-- Windows: `.\porf path/to/script.js`
+### Trying a REPL
+**`porf`**. Just run it with no script file argument.
 
-Please note that further examples below will just use `./porf`, you need to use `.\porf` on Windows. You can also swap out `node` in the alias to use another runtime like Deno (`deno run -A`) or Bun (`bun ...`), or just use it yourself (eg `node runner/index.js ...`, `bun runner/index.js ...`). Node and Bun should work great, Deno support is WIP.

 ## Performance
 *For the features it supports most of the time*, Porffor is *blazingly fast* compared to most interpreters and common engines running without JIT. For those with JIT, it is usually slower by default, but can catch up with compiler arguments and typed input, even more so when compiling to native binaries.
