 1. Make sure you've got at least Java 17 installed. You can get it [here](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases).
 2. Download the `aos2-client` JAR file from the [releases page](https://github.com/andrewlalis/ace-of-shades-2/releases) that's compatible with your system.
-3. Create a file named `config.yaml` in the same directory as the JAR file, and place the following text in it:
-```yaml
-serverHost: localhost
-serverPort: 25565
-username: myUsername
-input:
-  mouseSensitivity: 0.005
-display:
-  fullscreen: true
-  captureCursor: true
-  fov: 80
-```
+3. Run the game by double-clicking the JAR file, or entering `java -jar <jarfile>` in a terminal. This should generate a `config.yaml` file.
 4. Set the `serverHost`, `serverPort`, and `username` properties accordingly for the server you want to join.
-5. Run the game by double-clicking the `aos2-client` JAR file, or enter `java -jar aos2-client-{version}.jar` in a terminal.
+5. Run the game again to join the server and start playing!
 
 ## Setting up a Server
 Setting up a server is quite easy. Just go to the [releases page](https://github.com/andrewlalis/ace-of-shades-2/releases) and download the latest `aos2-server` JAR file. Similar to the client, it's best if you provide a `config.yaml` file to the server, in the same directory. The following snippet shows the structure and default values of a server's configuration.
