 # Viv isn't venv
 
 ## Setup
+
+Start by cloning the repo and symlinking the script for access to the CLI.
+By default it will symlink `./src/viv.py` to `~/bin/viv`.
+You can set `PREFIX` to symlink to a different location.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:daylinmorgan/viv.git ~/.viv
+make install # or PREFIX=~/.local/bin make install
+```
+
 Place this directory on the python path in your rc file.
 
 ```sh
