 ## Installation
 
-Put `restic-backup.sh` somewhere in `$PATH` and `config.sh` somewhere. Don't
-forget to make `config.sh` user-readable only as it contains sensitive
-information.
+```
+meson setup build
+cd build
+sudo meson install
+```
 
+Copy the example `config.sh` to a desired location (i.e.
+`/etc/backup/config.sh`). Don't forget to make `config.sh` user-readable only
+as it contains sensitive information.
+
 ## Modifying the repository
 
 Source `config.sh` in an interactive shell to be able to easily inspect the
 repository without giving the repository location or password manually every
 time a command is run.
 
-For example:
+For example, to list all the snapshots stored in the repository:
