 Plug it in, turn it on, and forget about the cloud.
 
-## quickstart
+## setup
 
-1. Plug in and turn on your Toes computer.
-2. Tell Toes about your WiFi by <using dark @probablycorey magick>.
-3. Visit https://toes.local to get started!
+Toes runs on a Raspberry Pi. You'll need:
+
+- A Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS
+- A `toes` user with passwordless sudo
+
+SSH into your Pi as the `toes` user and run:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://toes-y8zi.onrender.com/install | bash
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Install system dependencies (git, fish shell, networking tools)
+2. Install Bun and grant it network binding capabilities
+3. Clone and build the toes server
+4. Set up bundled apps (clock, code, cron, env, stats, versions)
+5. Install and enable a systemd service for auto-start
+
+Once complete, visit `http://<hostname>.local` on your local network.
