+## Setup Instructions
+
+1. Make a virtual env
+```
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+2. Run setup.sh
+```
+./setup.sh venv/bin/python3
+```
+
+3. Add systemd service (optional)
+```
+cp contrib/bbj.service /etc/systemd/system/
+$EDITOR /etc/systemd/system/bbj.service
+systemctl enable --now bbj
+```
+Be sure to edit bbj.service with your venv and paths.
+
+4. Make a client script
+
+Create a script somewhere in your `$PATH` (I used `/usr/local/bin/bbj`) with the following contents,
+adapting the path to your install:
+```shell
+#!/bin/sh
+exec /srv/bbj/venv/bin/python3 /srv/bbj/clients/urwid/main.py
+```
