+# scel - sclang-mode for emacs
 
 SuperCollider/Emacs interface
 
+## Installation
 
-Installation requirements
--------------------------
+The repository contains two subprojects. `/sc` contains the SuperCollider code
+required to implement the emacs interface. `/el` contains the emacs-lisp
+implementation of the mode. Emacs and SuperCollider have their own package
+managers, so it is required to install each half separately. 
 
-For the HTML help system, you will need emacs-w3m support.
+If you are building SuperCollider from source on Linux, this library (both .el
+and .sc files) will be installed by default. To disable it pass the flag
+`-DSC_EL=OFF` as a `cmake` option. See the supercollider readme for more info.
 
+### Installing scel quark
 
-Installation (default)
-----------------------
+The `scel` Quark is required for emacs to communicate with sclang.
 
-By default emacs-lisp files are installed in
+``` supercollider
+Quarks.install("https://github.com/supercollider/scel");
+```
 
-`$prefix/share/emacs/site-lisp`
+### Installing the emacs mode
 
-SuperCollider files are put in
+Install as you normally would install something from MELPA:
 
-`$prefix/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/scide_scel`
+``` emacs-lisp
+(package-install "sclang")
+```
 
+Or using straight.el
+``` emacs-lisp
+(package! sclang 
+          :recipe (:host github 
+                   :repo "supercollider/scel" 
+                   :files ("el/*.el")))
+```
 
-The only thing you need to do is loading the sclang interface in your `~/.emacs`:
+## Installation requirements
 
-```
-(require 'sclang)
-```
+For the HTML help system, you will need emacs-w3m support, but you can still use without that.
 
-For the HTML help system to fully function also add
-```
+```emacs-lisp
 (require 'w3m)
 ```
 
+## Configuration
 
-Installation (detailed)
------------------------
-
-Put all `*.el` files in emacs' load-path. e.g. if you put them in
-`~/emacs/`, add the following lines to `~/.emacs` (or whatever your init
-file is called):
+To fine-tune the installation from within emacs' graphical customization interface, type:
 
-```
-(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs")
-(require 'sclang)
-```
+`M-x sclang-customize`
 
-for the HTML help system to fully function also add
-```
-(require 'w3m)
-```
+### On MacOS
 
-now put all `*.sc` files in sclang's library path, e.g. if you put them
-in a non-standard location, such as `~/SuperCollider/Emacs`, add the
-following to `~/.config/SuperCollider/sclang_conf.yaml` (Linux) or `~/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/sclang_conf.yaml` (macOS):
+You may need to add the path to supercollider to your exec-path so that it can find the sclang executable.
 
-```
-includePaths:
-    [~/SuperCollider/Emacs]
+``` emacs-lisp
+(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/Applications/SuperCollider.app/Contents/MacOS/")))
 ```
 
-(note normally this is not needed as they are put into sclang's library
-path during installation with scons).
 
+## Usage
 
-Usage
------
+`M-x sclang-start` or open a `.scd` file and press `C-c C-o`
 
-In order to automatically start sclang when invoking emacs, use the following command line:
+You're now ready to edit, inspect and execute sclang code!
 
-```
-$> emacs -sclang
-```
 
-you're now ready to edit, inspect and execute sclang code!
