 Usage
 =================================
 
-This tool is incomplete, so most commands don't yet work.

 Run `leap help` for a usage instructions.
 
 Here is an example usage:

     cd provider
     edit configuration files (see below)

 Development
 =================================
 
-prerequisites:
+How to set up your environment for developing the ``leap`` command.
 
-* rubygems (``apt-get install rubygems``)
-* bundler  (``gem install bundler``)
+Prerequisites
+---------------------------------
 
-Install command line ``leap``:
+Debian Squeeze
 
-    git clone git://leap.se/leap_cli   # clone leap cli code
-    cd leap_cli
-    bundle                             # install required gems
-    ln -s `pwd`/bin/leap ~/bin         # link executable somewhere in your bin path
+    sudo apt-get install git ruby ruby-dev rubygems
+    sudo gem install bundler rake
+    export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
 
-You can experiment using the example provider in the test directory
+Debian Wheezy
 
-    cd test/provider
-    leap
+    sudo apt-get install git ruby ruby-dev
+    sudo gem install bundler
 
-Alternately, you can create your own provider for testing:
+Ubuntu Quantal
 
-    mkdir ~/dev/example.org
-    cd ~/dev/example.org
-    git clone git://leap.se/leap_platform
-    leap init provider
-    cd provider
-    leap
+    sudo apt-get install git ruby ruby-dev
+    sudo gem install bundler
+
+Install from git
+---------------------------------
 
+Install requirements
+
+    git clone git://leap.se/leap_cli      # clone leap_cli code
+    cd leap_cli
+    bundle                                # install required gems
+
+Symlink bin/leap into your path:
+
+    cd leap_cli
+    ln -s `pwd`/bin/leap /usr/local/bin   # link executable somewhere in your bin path
+    which leap                            # make sure you will run leap_cli/bin/leap,
+                                          # and not /var/lib/gems/1.x/bin/leap
+    leap help
+
+If you get an error, make sure to check ``which leap``. Some versions of ``bundle`` will
+incorrectly install a broken ``leap`` command in the gem bin directory when you do ``bundle``.
+
+Why not use ``bundle exec leap`` to run the command? This works, so long as your current
+working directory is under leap_cli. Because the point is to be able to run ``leap`` in
+other places, it is easier to create the symlink. If you run ``leap`` directly, and not via
+the command launcher that rubygems installs, leap will run in a mode that simulates
+``bundle exec leap`` (i.e. only gems included in Gemfile are allow to be loaded).
