 # Triton
 
+![logo](https://www.joyent.com/content/01-home/triton-logo.svg)
+
 `triton` is a CLI tool for Joyent's Triton (a.k.a. SmartDataCenter), either for
 on-premises installations of Triton or Joyent's Public Cloud
 (<https://my.joyent.com>, <http://www.joyent.com/products/compute-service>).
 
-**This project is experimental and probably broken. For now, please look
+**This project aims to replace
-at [node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc).**
+[node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc) as both the API
+client library for triton ([cloudapi](https://apidocs.joyent.com/cloudapi/))
+and the command line tool**
 
 ## Installation
 
 1. Install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).
 2. `npm install -g git://github.com/joyent/node-triton`
 
-Verify that installed and is on your PATH:
+Verify it installed and is on your PATH:
 
     $ triton --version
-    Triton client 1.0.0
+    joyent-triton 1.0.0
-
-Before you can used the CLI you'll need a Joyent account, an SSH key uploaded
-and `triton` configured with those account details.
 
 ## Setup
 
-TODO
+Before you can use the CLI you'll need a Joyent account, an SSH key uploaded
+and `triton` configured with those account details.
+
+1. Create a Joyent Public Cloud account here https://www.joyent.com/public-cloud
+2. Upload an SSH key (instructions on the site above)
+3. Set the proper environmental variables (instructions also above)
+
+Example environmental variables
+
+    SDC_URL=https://us-east-3b.api.joyent.com
+    SDC_ACCOUNT=dave.eddy@joyent.com
+    SDC_KEY_ID=04:0c:22:25:c9:85:d8:e4:fa:27:0d:67:94:68:9e:e9
 
 ## Example
 
+List instances
+
+    $ triton instances
+    SHORTID  NAME  IMG  STATE  PRIMARYIP  AGO
+
+We have no instances created yet, so let's create some.  In order to create
+an instance we need to specify two things: an image and a package.  An image
+represents what will be used as the root of the instances filesystem, and the
+package represents the size of the instance, eg. ram, disk size, cpu shares,
+etc.  More information on images and packages below - for now we'll just use
+a basic combo of SmartOS 64bit and a small 128M ram package.
+
+
+### XXX 1. show create, 2. show instances again, 3. show ssh'ing in, 4. explain images and packages
