-# Downloads 
-- [Windows executable](blombly.exe) 
-- Build from source: Download this repository and install gcc in your system. Run the following command from the directory of the `blombly.cpp` file: 
+# Very quick start
 
-```gcc 
-g++ -std=c++20 -pthread -I./include src/*.cpp src/data/*.cpp src/interpreter/*.cpp blombly.cpp -o blombly -O2 
-``` 
+Find the latest release [here](https://github.com/maniospas/Blombly/releases/tag/latest).
+<br>Current build targets: *Windows x64*
+
+Unzip the folder in a directory and create a file `main.bb` with the following contents:
+
+```cpp
+#include "libs/fmt"
+enable fmt;  // pretty read and print
+
+name = read("What's your name?");
+print("Hello ", name, "!");
+```
+
+Run `blombly.exe main.bb`, where the executable and main files can be any path, and check that everything is working properly. 
+Do not move the executable without all the `libs/` and dynamically linked libraries that are packaged with it.
+
+# Build from source 
+
+Clone this repository and install gcc in your system. Then, follow the steps below, which include installing the `vcpkg` dependency manager:
