 ## Installation
 
-### Clone to the Waybar modules directory

+### Create Configuration File
+
+Create a configuration file at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar-crypto/config.ini` (This location can be customised with the `--config-path` flag). The module **will not** run without first creating this configuration file.
+
+An example can be found in [`config.ini.example`](./config.ini.example) with further options described below in the [Configuration](#configuration) section.

 ## Configuration
 
-Copy the example configuration file `config.ini.example` to `config.ini`.
-
-The information displayed can then be customised by editing the `config.ini` configuration file.
-(e.g. `~/.config/waybar/modules/crypto/config.ini` if you followed the instructions above)

-```ini
