    This repository is setup with a Github action to compile the standalone executable. If you would like to compile it on your local machine you can read the action for the command via `pyinstaller` [here](./.github/workflows/release.yml).
 
-### Setting up your avatar
+## Setting a different port number
+
+---
+
+In the same directory your executable is located in, create a file named `vrc-discord-osc.config.json`
+
+In the file add the following contents, and change `9000` to the port you'd like to send your OSC data to.
+
+```json
+{
+  "port": 9000
+}
+```
+
+If you did it properly the next time you run your application, the terminal window should state the port number you set.
