 few months, but decided to try =straight.el= which allows direct use
 of the various package archives.
 
+** Installation
+
+To use this config for your Emacs, first you need to clone this repo,
+then tangle =init.org= into =init.el=, and optionally byte-compile
+=init.el=.
+
+First, clone the repository and =cd= into it:
+
+#+begin_src sh :tangle no
+git clone https://git.sr.ht/~bandali/dotfiles ~/.emacs.d
+cd ~/.emacs.d
+#+end_src
+
+Then, decide if you would like to use a byte-compiled init file, and
+set the following variable accordingly:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(defvar a/byte-compiled-init t
+  "If non-nil, byte-(re)compile init.el on successful tangles.")
+#+end_src
+
+Now, first tangle =init.org=, and only if you chose to have a
+byte-compiled init, build init as well:
+
+#+begin_src sh :tangle no
+make tangle-init
+make build-init
+#+end_src
+
+If you'd like to use a byte-compiled init, it's important that it be
+recompiled whenever =init.el= is generated from an updated =init.org=.
+Not only does my setup automatically and asynchronously tangle
+=init.org= to =init.el= every time you edit and save =init.org= in GNU
+Emacs, it will also invoke =make build-init= if you set
+=a/byte-compiled-init= to =t= above, so you wouldn't have to worry
+about manually tangling and compiling your init file whenever you
+change it.  The output of the last byte-compilation in the current
+session is kept in a =*compilation*= buffer, which will automatically
+be displayed if compilation fails.
