+# Usage
+## Installation
+To install StartTree for the first time, run the following commands:  
+(Note: If the `~/.config/StartTree` directory already exists, `init.py` will not execute to prevent accidentally overwriting a custom config. )
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Paul-Houser/StartTree.git
+cd StartTree
+./init.py
+./generate.py
+```
+This will create the directory `~/.config/StartTree` containing the default `config.yaml`, as well as generate the html/css, which you can view by pointing your browser at `$HOME/.cache/StartTree/index.html`.
 
+## Config
+The config should be placed in `~/.config/StartTree/config.yaml`
+
+## Updating the HTML
+To re-generate the html/css after editing the config, navigate to the `StartTree` directory and execute `./generate.py`.
+
+# Example Config
 ```yaml
-font_size: 15
-theme: void
-
-tree_1:
-  general:
-    google: "https://www.google.com/"
-    youtube: "https://www.youtube.com/"
+font_size: 22 # specify font size
+theme: void # specify the name of a theme in the themes/ directory, or use 'pywal'
+tree_1: # each column should be named 'tree_X' where X is unique for each tree.
