 ## Requirements
 
+- OpenOS
 - Minitel
 - Minitel RPC
 - liblz16
 - libsyslog (server only)
+- An 80x25 display (client only)
 
 ## Setup
 
+Note: It may be more practical to [create an installer floppy](https://git.shadowkat.net/izaya/OC-misc/src/branch/master/repo-installer) rather than using oppm on every machine involved.
+
+### Server
+
+1. Install dss2-server and dependencies via oppm.
+2. Make sure the computer has a hostname set and the Minitel daemon is running.
+3. Add aliases with the `addalias` program - run it without arguments for usage information.
+4. Start the searchsrv daemon with `rc searchsrv start`
+5. Enable the searchsrv daemon with `rc searchsrv enable`
+
+### Client
+
+1. Install dss2-client and dependencies via oppm.
+2. Make sure the computer has a hostname setand the Minitel daemon is running.
+3. Put the name of the server into `/etc/invsrv` - either by editing the file, or something along the lines of `echo <hostname> > /etc/invsrv`
+4. Run `search4` to bring up the interface.
+5. (Optional) Make search4 open on boot by adding it to `/home/.shrc`

 ## Network protocol
 
 In addition to standard RPC calls, OC-DSS2 uses a stream protocol on port 15 (by default).
