 ### Overview ###
 
-Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install
-* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s application folder (where WSL is also installed)
-* an empty wsltty “home directory” to enable storage of a mintty config file
+WSLtty components
+* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s local application folder 
+  `%LOCALAPPDATA%` (where WSL is also installed)
+* a wsltty configuration directory in the user’s application folder `%APPDATA%`; 
+  “home”-located configuration files from a previously installed version 
+  will be migrated to the new default location
 * Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts to start a WSL bash (with some variations, see below)
 * optional context menu entries for Windows Explorer to start a WSL bash in the respective folder
 * install/uninstall context menu items from Start Menu subfolder
 * `wsl*.bat` scripts to invoke wsltty manually (with some variations and invocation options, see below)
 * an uninstall script that can be invoked manually to remove shortcuts and context menu entries
 
+### Installation ###
+
+#### WSLtty installer ####
+
+Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install 
+the components listed above.
+If Windows complains with a “Windows protected your PC” popup, 
+you may need to click “Run anyway” to proceed with the installation.
+You may need to open the Properties of the installer first, tab “General” 
+section “Security” (if available) and select “Unblock”, 
+to enable the “Run anyway” button.
+
+#### Installation from source repository ####
+
+Download or checkout the wsltty repository.
+Invoke `make`, then `make install`.
+Note this has to be done within a Cygwin environment.
+
+#### Installation to non-default locations ####
+
+Within the installation process, provide parameters to the script `install.bat`.
+The optional first parameter designates the installation target,
+the optional second parameter designates the configuration directory.
+
+### Invocation ###
+
+WSLtty can be invoked with
+* installed desktop shortcuts or Start menu shortcuts
+* wsl*.bat scripts generated into the installation directory
+* Explorer context menu (if installed from the Start menu)
+
+Starting the mintty terminal directly from the WSLtty installation location 
+is discouraged because that would bypass the `--configdir` option.
+
 ### Configuration ###
 
-#### Command line scripts wsl*.bat ####
+#### Command line scripts `wsl*.bat` ####
 
 WSLtty installs the following scripts in its application folder `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty`:
 * `wsl.bat` to start a WSL bash in the current folder/directory
@@ -39,19 +76,41 @@ add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile` on Linux side.
 
 Mintty can maintain its configuration file in various locations, 
 with the following precedence:
-* file given with mintty option `-c`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%\.minttyrc`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%\.config\mintty\config`
+* file given with mintty option `-c` (not used by wsltty default installation)
+* file `config` in directory given with mintty option `--configdir`
+  * This is `%APPDATA%\wsltty\config` in the default wsltty installation.
+* `%HOME%\.minttyrc` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
+* `%HOME%\.config\mintty\config` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
 * `%APPDATA%\mintty\config`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\etc\minttyrc`
+* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\etc\minttyrc` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
 
-Note that the `%APPDATA%\mintty\config` option provides the possibility 
-to maintain common mintty settings for various installations (like 
-wsltty, Cygwin, MinGW/msys, Git for Windows, MinEd for Windows).
+Note:
+* `%APPDATA%\wsltty\config` is the new user configuration file location. 
+  Further subdirectories of `%APPDATA%\wsltty` are used for language, 
+  themes, and sounds resource configuration. 
+  Note the distinction from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` which is the default 
+  wsltty software installation location.
+* The `%APPDATA%\mintty\config` option provides the possibility to 
+  maintain common mintty settings for various installations (like 
+  wsltty, Cygwin, MinGW/msys, Git for Windows, MinEd for Windows).
+* (About deprecated options) By default, `%HOME%` would refer to the 
+  root directory of the cygwin standalone installation hosting wsltty. 
+  So `%HOME%` would mean `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%`.
+  If you define `HOME` at Windows level, this changes accordingly.
+  Note, however, that the WSL `HOME` is a completely different setting.
+
+#### Shell selection ####
+
+To invoke your favourite shell, simply replace `/bin/bash` with its pathname 
+in the Desktop shortcuts, `wsl*.bat` invocation scripts, 
+or Explorer context menu commands (configured in `config-context-menu.bat`).
