 Also included is a simple IRC daemon that mostly follows the RFC's but is
 limited to single-server networks, due to the protocol being incredibly ugly
-and tricky to implement correctly.  Even so, it took me a ridiculous amount of
-time to write.  (But it was a valuable exercise and I can reuse the code.)
+and tricky to implement correctly.  It is designed for use as a regular user
+application rather than a system daemon.
+
+So far the daemon lacks critical features, so don't even bother trying it.
+
+Building and Running
+--------------------
+Build dependencies: openssl, clang, pkg-config, make, awk, sh
+
+If you don't have Clang, you can edit the Makefile to use GCC or TCC, they work
+just as good.  But there's no CMake support yet, so I force it in the Makefile.
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/ZyklonB.git
+ $ make
+
+That is all, no installation is required, or supported for that matter.
+
+First you might want to generate a configuration file:
+ $ ./zyklonb --write-default-config
+ $ ./kike --write-default-config
+
+After making any necessary edits to the file (there are comments to aid you in
+doing that), simply run the appropriate program with no arguments:
+ $ ./zyklonb
+ $ ./kike
+
+ZyklonB stays running in the foreground, so I recommend launching it inside
+a Screen or tmux session.  kike, on the other hand, immediately forks into the
+background.  Use something like `killall' if you want to terminate it.
