+See [Wiki](https://github.com/ylexus/jiotty-photos-uploader/wiki) for more information, including how to download and install.
 
-To build from sources and run locally:
+For enthusiasts, to build or run from sources:
 
-1. Install JDK 14
-2. run `./gradlew -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json run`
+1. Install JDK
+    1. for a desktop, use any JDK version 14 or higher.
+    2. for a Raspberry Pi, use Liberica OpenJDK (because it contains RPi-compatible javafx). Go to https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/, select latest version,
+       32-bit, Linux, package: Full JDK, and install via `.deb`.
+2. Clone this repository.
+3. `cd jiotty-photos-uploader`
 
-If build the native binary for the current platform from sources:
+Then, to compile and run locally:
 
-1. Install JDK 14
-2. Run the following, replacing `0.0.0` with the version you want:
+1. on a desktop: `./gradlew --no-daemon -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json run`
+2. on Raspberry Pi: `./gradlew --no-daemon -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json -PraspberryPi run`
+
+Or to build the self-contained native binary and installer for the current platform:
+
+1. Run the following, replacing `0.0.0` with the version you want:
     1. on a desktop: `./gradlew --no-daemon -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json fullPackage -DVERSION=0.0.0`
-    2. on Raspberry Pi:
-       `./gradlew --no-daemon -PraspberryPi -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json fullPackage -DVERSION=0.0.0`
+    2. on Raspberry Pi: `./gradlew --no-daemon -PraspberryPi -DCLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/google-API-client-secret.json fullPackage -DVERSION=0.0.0`
 3. look for the executable bundle in `app/build/jpackage` and for the installer in `app/build/fullpackage`
+
+Note: if doing repeated builds, to improve build speed, replace `--no-daemon` with `--build-cache`, but only if you understand what you're doing and are
+prepared to maintain gradle cache and daemons.
