 ## About ShortId
 
-A CSharp library to generate completely random short id's. They can be used as primary keys or unique identifiers. This library is different in that you can specify the length of the id's generated. I have tested the application generating 180000 id's without duplicates.
+A CSharp library to generate completely random short id's. They can be used as primary keys or unique identifiers. This library is different in that you can specify the length of the ids to be generated. This library is thread-safe and can generate millions of unique ids across multiple threads.
 
-## How to use
+## Getting Started
 
 To make use of the `shortid`, add it to your project via the Nuget package manager UI or console via this command:
 
+#### Package Manager
+
 ```
 Install-Package shortid
 ```
 
+#### .NET CLI
+```
+> dotnet add package shortid
+```
+
+#### PackageReference
+```csharp
+<PackageReference Include="shortid" />
+```
+
+## Usage
+
 Add the following using command to the top of your csharp code file:
 
 ```csharp
 using shortid;
+using shortid.Configuration;
 ```
 
 This gives your code access the classes and methods of the `shortid` namespace.
