 == CONFIGURATION
 
-See the README for information about how to configure this daemon.
+- Set up `~/.skyped/skyped.conf`: Create the `~/.skyped` directory, copy
+  `skyped.conf` and `skyped.cnf` from `/usr/local/etc/skyped/` to `~/.skyped`,
+  adjust `username` and `password`. The `username` should be your Skype login and
+  the `password` can be whatever you want, but you will have to specify that one
+  when adding the Skype account to BitlBee (see later).
+
+NOTE: Here, and later - `/usr/local/etc` can be different on your installation
+if you used the `--sysconfdir` switch when running the `configure` of BitlBee.
+
+- Generate the SSL pem files:
+
+----
+$ cd ~/.skyped
+$ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config skyped.cnf -out skyped.cert.pem \
+        -keyout skyped.key.pem
+----
+
+- Start `skyped` (the TCP server), initially without detaching and enabling debug messages:
+
+----
+$ skyped -d -n
+----
+
+- Start your `IRC` client, connect to BitlBee and add your account:
+
+----
+account add skype <user> <pass>
+----
+
+`<user>` should be your Skype account name, `<pass>` should be the one you declared
+in `skyped.conf`.
