 3. Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/StijnBTC/Ringtools`
 4. Navigate to the right folder `cd Ringtools`
 5. Install the requirements `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
-6. Edit the channel file `sudo nano channels.txt`
-7. Replace all channels with the channels from your ring and save (Ctrl+X following Y (Yes))
-8. Run Ringtools `python3 ringtools.py -f -l status` (When you're ready, hit Ctrl+C)
+
+## Usage
+1. Put all public keys and telegram usernames, separated with a comma in `pubkeys.txt`
+2. Run `checkring` functionality with write to create channels.txt `python3 ringtools.py check --write-channels`
+3. Run Ringtools `python3 ringtools.py -f -l status` (When you're ready, hit Ctrl+C)
