+# Setup
+
+This repository supports:
+
+- [Linux](#unix)
+- (macOS)(#unix)
+- [Windows Subsystem for Linux 2](#wsl-2)
+- [Docker](#docker) (any host OS)
+
+If you encounter any issues setting up the repo, please feel free to [reach out to us on Discord](https://discord.gg/urUm3VG).
+
+
+## Unix
+
+Clone the repository:
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/pmret/papermario
+cd papermario
+```
+
+Install build dependencies:
+```sh
+./install.sh
+```
+
+Copy a Paper Mario (USA) ROM into the root directory of the repository with the name `baserom.z64`. If you're using WSL, you can enter the Linux filesystem by opening `\\wsl$` in File Explorer; e.g. `\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<your username>\papermario`.
+
+Configure the build and extract assets from the base ROM:
+```sh
+./configure.py
+```
+
+Compile the game:
+```
+ninja
+```
+
+If you get `papermario.z64: OK` at the end, the build succeeded!
+
+The output ROM is `papermario.z64` - you can run this in an emulator such as Project64.
+
+
+## WSL 2
+
+1. Install or upgrade to **WSL 2** following [these instructions](https://aka.ms/wsl2-install) (Ubuntu is recommended)
+2. Open a WSL terminal
+3. Run the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && cd ~`
+4. Continue with [the instructions for Linux](#unix)
+
+If you have Visual Studio Code, you can type code . to open the repo within it.
+`Ctrl + J` opens up a Linux terminal within VS Code.
+
+
+## Docker
+
+A Docker image containing all dependencies can be built and ran as follows:
+```sh
+docker build . -t pm
+docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/papermario pm
+```
+
+Then continue with [the instructions for Linux](#unix).

 # Paper Mario
 
-This is a WIP decompilation of Paper Mario (USA). It builds the following ROM:

+[discord-badge]: https://img.shields.io/discord/279322074412089344?color=%237289DA&logo=discord&logoColor=ffffff
 
-You'll need Linux, a Linux VM, or [Windows 10 (WSL2)](#wsl) to work on this project.
+This is a work-in-progress decompilation of Paper Mario (USA).
 
-#### Clone the repository
-```sh
-$ git clone https://github.com/ethteck/papermario.git
-$ cd papermario
-```
+It builds the following ROM:
 
-#### Install build dependencies
+* [**papermario.z64**](https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=show_record&s=24&n=0537) `sha1: 3837f44cda784b466c9a2d99df70d77c322b97a0`
 
-```sh
-$ ./install.sh
-```
+To set up the repository, see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
 
-Our install script does not yet support distros other than Ubuntu, Arch, and their derivatives. Please consider contributing to the script if you use another distro!
-
-##### Docker
-
-A Docker image containing all dependencies can be built and ran as follows:
-```sh
-# build image
-$ docker build . -t pm
-# spin up container, mounting current directory inside
-$ docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/papermario pm
-```
-
-#### Base ROM
-
-You'll need a Paper Mario (USA) ROM to work on this project. Copy it into the root directory of the repository with the name `baserom.z64`.
-
-#### Install tools and extract ROM
-
-```sh
-$ make setup
-```
-
-### Compile the game
-
-```sh
-$ make
-```
-
-If you get `OK`, you're all set! Otherwise, please feel free to reach out to us in [our Discord channel](https://discord.gg/urUm3VG).
-
-## Star Rod GUI
-
-You can open [our modified version of Star Rod](https://github.com/nanaian/star-rod-for-decomp) with `make editor`.
-
-## Contributing
 Please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how to contribute to the project. Any and all help is welcome!
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-* If you are using Windows, you may encounter the following when you run `make`:
-```
-sha1sum -c checksum.sha1
-sha1sum: 'papermario.z64'$'\r': No such file or directory
-: FAILED open or read
-sha1sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read
-Makefile:118: recipe for target 'verify' failed
-make: *** [verify] Error 1
-```
-> 💡 Solution
-
-> Run `git checkout checksum.sha1` and retry building. Windows has different line endings than Linux, causing some of our tools to break.
