+### Touch Grass Method
 
 To install it permanently, you just have to copy the contents of the repo
 to `~/.config/quickshell`. Do that how you must.
 
+After it's installed, just add `quickshell -c hyprshell &` to your hyprland `exec-once` block.

 ### Nix Flake (The Real Cool Way)
 
 Add this to your `flake.nix`. Make sure you have the home manager module.
