 I would myself qualify this a bit and say that Promnesia is a tool with several legs, one of which is the browser extension; to get the full benefits, you also need to install a local process in your machine (a "backend"). In any case, let's begin:
 
 - Install the browser extension component.
-  - Currently supported are [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/promnesia/ and [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/promnesia/kdmegllpofldcpaclldkopnnjjljoiio). Choose one :) I use Firefox.

 - Install the local process.
   - On Linux, type in your terminal: ```pip3 install --user promnesia bs4 lxml mistletoe logzero```. If pip3 is not found, please refer to [[pip]] to install it.
   - On OSX: should be the same.
   - On Windows: unsure. I have a Windows install so I might give it a try soon and report back; [[let me know]] if you are interested and I'll prioritize this.
+- Configure the local process.
+  - `promnesia config` to seed a config in `.config/promnesia/config.py`
+  - Edit to your liking (more details and a minimum example to come).
+- Start the local process.
+  - `promnesia serve`
+- Configure the periodic indexer.
+  - Add a [[cronjob]] that runs `promnesia index`. I run mine every X minutes.
+- Enjoy!
+
+Thoughts / asides:
+
+- It might be good to just make optional dependencies default, so that `pip3 install --user promnesia` suffices?
+- I got this exception when trying to run promnesia after updating my config, unsure what's wrong as of yet.
