-## **[Compiling it from source code](docs/COMPILE_FROM_SOURCE.md)**
-*\* MacOS users have to use this option.*
+## Installation
 
-## Additional options
-Script also accepts additional options via command-line arguments. Get further information from **[`--help`](docs/COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.md)**
+You can use it either as a `bulk-downloader-for-reddit.exe` executable file for Windows, as a Linux binary or as a *[Python script](#python-script)*. There is no MacOS executable, MacOS users must use the Python script option. 
+
+### Executables
+
+For Windows and Linux, [download the latest executables, here](https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit/releases/latest).
+
+### Python script
+
+* Download this repository ([latest zip](https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit/archive/master.zip) or `git clone git@github.com:aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit.git`).
+* Enter its folder.
+* Run `python ./script.py` from the command-line (Windows, MacOSX or Linux command line; it may work with Anaconda prompt) See [here](docs/INTERPRET_FROM_SOURCE.md#finding-the-correct-keyword-for-python) if you have any trouble with this step.
+
+It uses Python 3.6 and above. It won't work with Python 3.5 or any Python 2.x. If you have a trouble setting it up, see [here](docs/INTERPRET_FROM_SOURCE.md).
+
+
+### Setting up the script
 
-## Setting up the script
 You need to create an imgur developer app in order API to work. Go to https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient and fill the form (It does not really matter how you fill it).
-  
-It should redirect you to a page where it shows your **imgur_client_id** and **imgur_client_secret**.

-## [FAQ](docs/FAQ.md)
 
-## [Changes on *master*](docs/CHANGELOG.md)
+It should redirect you to a page where it shows your **imgur_client_id** and **imgur_client_secret**.
+
+When you run it for the first time, it will automatically create `config.json` file containing `imgur_client_id`, `imgur_client_secret`, `reddit_username` and `reddit_refresh_token`.
+
+
+## Running
+
+You can run it it an interactive mode, or using [command-line arguments](docs/COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.md) (also available via `python ./script.py --help` or `bulk-downloader-for-reddit.exe --help`).
+
+To run the interactive mode, simply use `python ./script.py` or double click on `bulk-downloader-for-reddit.exe` without any extra commands.

+## FAQ
+
+### I am running the script on an headless machine or a remote server. How can I authenticate my reddit account?
+- Download the script on your everday computer and run it for once.
+- Authenticate the program on both reddit and imgur.
+- Go to your Home folder (for Windows users it is `C:\Users\[USERNAME]\`, for Linux users it is `/home/[USERNAME]`)
+- Copy the *config.json* file inside the Bulk Downloader for Reddit folder and paste it **next to** the file that you run the program.
+
+### How can I change my credentials?
+- All of the user data is held in **config.json** file which is in a folder named "Bulk Downloader for Reddit" in your **Home** directory. You can edit them, there.  
+
+  Also if you already have a config.json file, you can paste it **next to** the script and override the one on your Home directory. 
+
+### What do the dots resemble when getting posts?
+- Each dot means that 100 posts are scanned.
+
+### Getting posts takes too long.
+- You can press *Ctrl+C* to interrupt it and start downloading.
+
+### How are the filenames formatted?
+- **Self posts** and **images** that do not belong to an album and **album folders** are formatted as:  
+  `[SUBMITTER NAME]_[POST TITLE]_[REDDIT ID]`  
+  You can use *reddit id* to go to post's reddit page by going to link reddit.com/[REDDIT ID]
+
+- An **image in an album** is formatted as:  
+  `[ITEM NUMBER]_[IMAGE TITLE]_[IMGUR ID]`  
+  Similarly, you can use *imgur id* to go to image's imgur page by going to link imgur.com/[IMGUR ID].
+
+### How do I open self post files?
+- Self posts are held at reddit as styled with markdown. So, the script downloads them as they are in order not to lose their stylings.
+  However, there is a [great Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-viewer/ckkdlimhmcjmikdlpkmbgfkaikojcbjk) for viewing Markdown files with its styling. Install it and open the files with [Chrome](https://www.google.com/intl/tr/chrome/).  
+
+  However, they are basically text files. You can also view them with any text editor such as Notepad on Windows, gedit on Linux or Text Editor on MacOS
