+** Installation
+
+To use this config for your Emacs, first you need to clone this repo,
+then bootstrap Borg, tell Borg to retrieve package submodules, and
+byte-compiled the packages. Something along these lines should work:
+
+#+begin_src sh
+git clone https://github.com/aminb/dotfiles ~/.emacs.d
+cd ~/.emacs.d
+make bootstrap-borg
+make tangle-init
+make bootstrap
+make build
+#+end_src
