# gomuks
-A terminal Matrix client written in Go.
+A terminal Matrix client written in Go using [gomatrix](https://github.com/matrix-org/gomatrix) and [tview](https://github.com/rivo/tview).
-Not yet actually usable, though receiving and sending messages works.
+Very basic usage is possible, but many of the features you'd expect from a
+Matrix client (like chat history) haven't been implemented.
+
+## Installation
+Once the client becomes actually usable, I'll start making GitHub releases with
+precompiled executables and maybe even some Linux packages.
+
+For now, you'll have to compile from source:
+
+0. Install [Go](https://golang.org/)
+1. Run `go get -u maunium.net/go/gomuks`
+2. gomuks should now be in `$GOPATH/bin/gomuks`
