 ```bash
 # Install Nomad Network and dependencies
-pip3 install nomadnet
+pip install nomadnet
+
+# Run the client
+nomadnet
+
+# Or alternatively run as a daemon, with no user interface
+nomadnet --daemon
+
+# List options
+nomadnet --help
+```
+
+If you are using an operating system that blocks normal user package installation via `pip`, you can use the `pipx` tool to install Nomad Network instead:
+
+```bash
+# Install Nomad Network
+pipx install nomadnet
+
+# Optionally install Reticulum utilities
+pipx install rns
+
+# Optionally install standalone LXMF utilities
+pipx install lxmf
 
 # Run the client

+>Fields & Requests
+
+Nomad Network let's you use simple input fields for submitting data to node-side applications. Submitted data, along with other session variables will be available to the node-side script / program as environment variables.
+
+>>Request Links
+
+Links can contain request variables and a list of fields to submit to the node-side application. You can include all fields on the page, only specific ones, and any number of request variables. To simply submit all fields on a page to a specified node-side page, create a link like this:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+`[Submit Fields`:/page/fields.mu`*]
+`=
+``
+
+Note the `!*`! following the extra `!\``! at the end of the path. This `!*`! denotes `*all fields`*. You can also specify a list of fields to include:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+`[Submit Fields`:/page/fields.mu`username|auth_token]
+`=
+``
+
+If you want to include pre-set variables, you can do it like this:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+`[Query the System`:/page/fields.mu`username|auth_token|action=view|amount=64]
+`=
+``
+
+>> Fields
+
+Here's an example of creating a field. We'll create a field named `!user_input`! and fill it with the text `!Pre-defined data`!. Note that we are using background color tags to make the field more visible to the user:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+A simple input field: `B444`<user_input`Pre-defined data>`b
+`=
+``
+
+You must always set a field `*name`*, but you can of course omit the pre-defined value of the field:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+An empty input field: `B444`<demo_empty`>`b
+`=
+``
+
+You can set the size of the field like this:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+A sized input field:  `B444`<16|with_size`>`b
+`=
+``
+
+It is possible to mask fields, for example for use with passwords and similar:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+A masked input field: `B444`<!|masked_demo`hidden text>`b
+`=
+``
+
+And you can of course control all parameters at the same time:
+
+`Faaa
+`=
+Full control: `B444`<!32|all_options`hidden text>`b
+`=
+``
+
+Collecting the above markup produces the following output:
+
+`Faaa`B333
+
+A simple input field: `B444`<user_input`Pre-defined data>`B333
+
+An empty input field: `B444`<demo_empty`>`B333
