 * =ol= the oneliners.wiki command-line interface 
 
-** Usage

 ** Installation
 
+First install [clpm](https://www.clpm.dev/).  
+
+Next, cd into the directory where this repository is kept, and do:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+
+rm clpmfile.lock  # just for good measure 
+clpm bundle install # say yes to questions 
+clpm bundle exec -- sbcl --load build-app.lisp
+
+#+end_src
+
+If everything worked, you'll have a binary called =ol= in the
+directory. Move this into your path. I typically place things like
+this in =~/.local/bin/=.
