 ## Installation
 
-### Base dependencies
-* libtoxcore
-* ncurses (for Debian based systems: libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev)
+### Dependencies
+##### Base
+* [libtoxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore)
+* [ncurses](http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses) (for Debian based systems, 'libncurses5-dev' and 'libncursesw5-dev')
 
-### Audio dependencies
-* libtoxav
-* openal
+##### Audio
+* libtoxav (libtoxcore compiled with audio support)
+* [openal](http://openal.org)
 
 ### Compiling
-* `cd build/`
-* `make`
-* `sudo make install DESTDIR="/path/you/like"`
-* You can add specific flags to makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and/or `USER_LDFLAGS=""`
-* You can pass your own flags to makefile with `CFLAGS=""` and/or `LDFLAGS=""` (this will supersede the defaults one)
-* Audio calling support is automatically enabled if all dependencies are found
+1. `cd build/`
+2. `make`
+3. `sudo make install DESTDIR="/where/to/install"`

+you can attempt to correct it by running `sudo ldconfig`. If that doesn't work, run:
 ```
 echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
 sudo ldconfig
 ```
 
 ## Settings
-After running Toxic for the first time an empty file called toxic.conf should reside in your home configuration directory ("~/.config/tox" for Linux users). For an example on how to use this config file to save settings such as auto-logging and time format see: [misc/toxic.conf](misc/toxic.conf).
+Running Toxic for the first time creates an empty file called toxic.conf in your home configuration directory ("~/.config/tox" for Linux users). Adding options to this file allows you to enable auto-logging, change the time format (12/24 hour), and much more.
