+This document serves as a guide to quickly accessing the reticulum network with
+minimal configuration.
+
+Start with this:
+
+```sh
+python3 -m venv .venv
+
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+pip install rns nomadnet
+
+# Adding peers to the RNS configuration
+curl https://letsdecentralize.org/rollcall/reticulum.txt >> ~/.reticulum/config
+```
+
+Now you have the necessary network utils and RNS browser. Start `rnsd`, then in
+another terminal window start `nomadnet`.
+
+Read the introductory materials on that populate on the first launch of
+`nomadnet`. Now you're ready to start exploring!
+
+For example, you can navigate to the network tab and announce your local node,
+or connect to another peer like
+`3b5bc6888356193f1ac1bfb716c1beef:/page/index.mu`. Just hit `ctrl+u` and enter
+that address (thanks [qbit](https://mammothcirc.us/@qbit)!)
+
+It's seriously that simple. Decentralize yourself.
