 An implementation of the Elixium Network full node.
 
-## Installation
+### How to Run
 
-Just install the dependencies: `mix deps.get` (you must have Elixir installed).
+Grab the appropriate [latest release](https://github.com/ElixiumNetwork/elixium_node/releases/latest)
+and unzip it. If you don't see a release fitting your system, you will
+have to build from source.
 
-## Running the Node
+The next step is to [port forward](https://www.pcworld.com/article/244314/how_to_forward_ports_on_your_router.html)
+ports 31013, 31014, and 32123 on your router. If you don't do this, other
+nodes on the network won't be able to connect to yours.
 
-All you need to do is run `mix`
+Next, double-click the run.sh file to run the node.
+
+#### Advanced Usage
+
+People who are comfortable working within a terminal may prefer to create their own
+run script. To see usage options, cd into the directory where the node is extracted,
+and run `./bin/elixium_node usage`.
+
+### Building from Source
+
+If none of the release candidates match your system architecture, it will be
+necessary to build from source. It is important to have elixir installed on your
+machine, this can be done by following the [installation instructions](https://elixir-lang.org/install.html).
+
+In order to build from source:
+
+1. Clone this repository
+2. Run `mix deps.get`
+3. Run `MIX_ENV=prod mix release`
+
+Upon successful build, a tarball containing the compiled build can be found
+in `_build/prod/rel/elixium_node/releases/<version_number>/elixium_node.tar.gz`
