+## Setting up BitBot
+
+* Move `docs/bot.conf.example` to `~/.bitbot/bot.conf` and fill in the config options you care about. Ones blank or removed will disable relevant functionality.
+* Run `./bitbotd -a` to add a server.
+* Run `./bitbotctl command master-password` to get the master admin password (needed to add regular admin accounts)
+* Run `./bitbotd` to start the bot.
+* Join `#bitbot` on a server with the bot (or invite it to another channel)
+* `/msg <bot> register <password here>` to register your nickname with the bot
+* (use `/msg <bot> identify <password>` to log in in the future)
+* `/msg <bot> masterlogin <master admin password>` to login as master admin
+* `/msg <bot> givepermission <your nickname> *` to give your account admin permissions
+
+### Configure client TLS certificate
+
+Generate a TLS keypair and point `bot.conf`'s `tls-key` to the private key and `tls-certificate` to the public key.
+
+### Configure SASL
+
+Configure the bot to use SASL to authenticate (usually used for `NickServ` identification)
+
+`EXTERNAL` usually mean client TLS certificate authentication; `USERPASS` is a BitBot-specific term that selects the strongest user/password algorithm.
+
+> /msg &lt;bot> config server sasl userpass &lt;username>:&lt;password>
+
+> /msg &lt;bot> config server sasl plain &lt;username>:&lt;password>
+
+> /msg &lt;bot> config server sasl scram-sha-1 &lt;username>:&lt;password>
+
+> /msg &lt;bot> config server sasl scram-sha-256 &lt;username>:&lt;password>
+
+> /msg &lt;bot> config server sasl external
+
+### Commands on-connect
+
+The `perform.py` module allows the bot to execute a saved list of raw IRC commands against a server it's connecting to. Use `/msg <bot> perform add <raw irc command>` to add to the current server's list of commands (`{NICK}` in a raw command will be replaced with the bot's current nick.)
