 ## Features

 Things that work.

+- Connects through the Web App API without a browser
 - Allows sending and receiving WhatsApp messages in a command line app
- Connects through the Web App API without browser
+- Allows downloading and opening image/video/audio/document attachments
 - Uses QR code for simple setup
 - Binaries for Windows, Mac, Linux and RaspBerry Pi

 ### Caveats

-This is a WIP. Heres some things you might expect to work that don't. Plus some other things I should mention.
+This is a WIP and mainly meant for my personal use. Heres some things you might expect to work that don't. Plus some other things I should mention.

 - Only shows existing chats
 - Only fetches a few old messages
- No support for images, videos, documents etc.
 - No incoming message notification / count
 - No proper connection drop handling
- Not configurable at all
- Leaves its config files in your home folder
+- No uploading of images/video/audio/data
 - FaceBook obviously doesn't endorse or like these kinds of apps and they're likely to break when FaceBook changes stuff in their web app

 ## Installation / Usage

 How to get it running and how to use it

+### Latest Release
+
+Always fresh, always up to date.
+
 - Download a release
 - Put the binary in your PATH (optional)
 - Run with `whatscli` (or double-click)
- Scan the QR code with WhatsApp on your phone (maybe resize shell)
+- Scan the QR code with WhatsApp on your phone (resize shell or change font size to see whole code)
+
+### Package Managers
+
+Some ways to install via package managers are supported but the installed version might be out of date.
+
+#### MacOS (homebrew)
+
+- `brew install normen/tap/whatscli`
+
+#### Arch Linux (AUR)
+
+- `https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatscli/`
