+[The `@fabric/core` project][fabric-github] provides an API for building peer-to-peer applications on [Bitcoin][bitcoin].

 Fabric is an experimental approach to the secure establishment and execution of
-peer-to-peer agreements, up to and including financial transactions.  With a
-robust library of common components, `npm i @fabric/core` provides all the tools
-one might `require` during the development of a well-researched application of
-decentralization technology.
+peer-to-peer agreements ("contracts") using Bitcoin as a bonding mechanism. The
+`@fabric/core` project provides a robust set of implementations as JavaScript
+classes, enabling the rapid prototyping and testing of Bitcoin-based
+applications for downstream developers.
+
+## Quick Start
+`npm i -g FabricLabs/fabric#master`
+
+Install Fabric CLI to your system using the above command, then run:
+```
+fabric setup
+```

-| Use of Fabric in production is **not recommended** in its current state.  Please wait for [an official release][releases] before deploying to production environments, or proceed at your own risk. |
+| The output of the above command will include your SEED, which should never be shared. |
 
-## Getting Started
-If you're already familiar with `node` and have a project already started, try
-`npm install --save @fabric/core` to install [Fabric Core](https://fabric.pub),
-the primary library used for most Fabric-based applications.
+Once complete, you'll have a fully configured Fabric client available by running:
+```
+fabric
+```
+
+For help, try entering "insert mode" by pressing the "i" key then typing `/help` and pressing enter — you'll get a short help prompt followed by a list of available commands.  Feel free to explore!
+
+If you run into any trouble, read on for clues, then [join the chat][chat-help] with any remaining questions.
 
 You'll also want `bitcoind` installed, and fully synchronized with your
 preferred network.  You can use `scripts/playnet.sh` to run a local playnet
 node, for which you can use the faucet: https://faucet.playnet.fabric.pub

 Fork and clone [the Fabric GitHub repository][fabric-github] and launch a local
 web server with `npm run examples` to view the examples, or `npm run docs` once
 you're ready to integrate Fabric into your application.
