 # *ew*pratten's *config* files
 
+This repository stores *most* of my common config files. It is designed to be deployable to pretty much any UNIX-like system. Assuming ideal conditions, any machine is one `./install` away from behaving like my personal workstation.
+
+## Setup
+
+The scripts in this repository have the following dependencies:
+
+- Git
+- ZSH (optional, recommended)
+- Neovim (optional, recommended)
+
+Install and link everything with:
+
 ```sh
 mkdir -p ~/.config && cd ~/.config
 git clone https://github.com/ewpratten/ewconfig
 cd ewconfig
 ./install
-```
