 Miner backend modules might use interface modules like PyUSB or PySerial as well.
 
 
-Configuration
-=============
+Getting started
+===============
 
-You can configure MPBM by copying the default_config.py file to config.py
-and modifying it to fit your needs. This file describes the
-front and back end modules that will be used by the MPBM core.
-default_config.py is already pre-populated with some sample entries.
-More advanced options that aren't present in the example config file
-are documented at the top of the corresponding python module file.
+1. Install the required prerequisites (see System Requirements above)
+2. Run the following command in the mpbm directory: python run-mpbm.py
+3. Connect to http://localhost:8832 with your favorite web browser
+4. Login with user name "admin" and password "mpbm"
+5. Go to "Frontends", "WebUI" and change the default login credentials
+6. Customize workers and work sources if neccessary
 
 
 Customizing
 ===========
 
 If you don't want to use one of the already supported mining workers,
-you will have to write your own worker module. Just duplicate e.g. simplers232.py,
-adapt it to fit your needs, and reference your new module from config.py.

 Things are mostly straightforward and that file has more comments than code,
 but if you run into trouble or didn't understand some details, feel free to contact
 TheSeven (or [7]) on irc.freenode.net. I'll try to help if I have time.
