+# Dotfiles Configuration
+
+This repository contains configuration files for various tools and applications. These setup steps should follow an initial software installation via a Nix flake.
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+1. **Prepare the Environment**
+   - Ensure `/usr/local/bin` is included in your `$PATH` for access to scripts.
+
+2. **Org File Tangling**
+   - Use Org mode in Emacs to tangle configuration files:
+     - `dotfiles.org`: For general configuration and environment variables.
+     - `scripts.org`: To install utility scripts to `/usr/local/bin`.
+
+3. **Symlinking with Stow**:
+    - To symlink the `vimrc`, run:
+    `ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vimrc ~/.config/vim/vimrc`
+    - Since `emacs-config.org` is a literate configuration, it will require tangling into a usable Emacs configuration.
+
+4. **Literate Emacs Configuration**:
+    - Open `emacs-config.org` in Emacs and export it to an Emacs Lisp file (typically `init.el` in your `.emacs.d` directory):
+    1. Open your configuration: `C-x C-f ~/.dotfiles/emacs-config.org`
+    2. Run `M-x org-babel-tangle` to extract the config into a `.el` file as needed. This performs the setup according to the tangling h
+eaders in the Org file.
+    3. Ensure that the tangled `.el` file is correctly placed and loaded by Emacs, usually as `.emacs.d/init.el`.
+
+- After symlinking and tangling, restart emacs to apply the new configurations and verify functionality.
