 Note: If channel-discover fails, try running "pear upgrade" first.
 
+Another note: The drush command must be used from within a drupal installation, so cd to the drupal site directory to use it.
+
+One more note: The memory_limit setting for the PHP command line interface may need to be increased beyond the default for drush to function! (128M recommended)

+== Configure BOINC Environment ==
+
+Some basic environment configuration is required before enabling any features. To access the environment configuration interface, enable the boincuser module:
+{{{
+$ drush en boincuser
+}}}
+Once complete, visit the admin page a web browser: [drupal site url]/admin/boinc/environment
+
+Enter the system path of the BOINC installation for //BOINC project root directory// and click the [Save configuration] button. In most cases, all necessary paths will be detected from that root directory. If not, overrides can be specified. These configurations can also be set via drush with the following commands, but it is recommended that the web admin interface be used for simplicity:
+{{{
+$ drush vset boinc_root_dir /path/to/boinc
+$ drush vset boinc_config_xml_dir /path/to/config/xml
+$ drush vset boinc_html_inc_dir /path/to/html/inc
+$ drush vset boinc_project_config_dir /path/to/html/project
+$ drush vset boinc_user_image_dir /path/to/profile/images
+}}}

 == Enable BOINC Features ==
 
 The Features module must be enabled, if it isn't already, or corresponding drush extensions will not be available:
 {{{
-# drush en features
-}}}     
-The memory_limit setting for the PHP command line interface may need to be increased beyond the default for drush to function
-Once drush is set up, BOINC features can be enabled by first creating symbolic links in sites/all/modules/features-enabled pointing back to the feature module under sites/all/features and then using the following drush command:
+$ drush en features
+}}}
+
+Once drush is set up, BOINC features can be enabled with a few commands. First, create symbolic links in sites/all/modules/features-enabled pointing back to the desired feature module under sites/all/features. The following drush commands can then be used to list available features and enable them:
 {{{
-# drush en [feature...]
+$ drush fl
+$ drush en [feature...]
 }}}
-This will automatically determine which additional features or modules are required and prompt for installation thereof. In some cases, it may be necessary to then force an update from file for all features to revert any "overrides" that exist (if any functionality provided by a feature already existed in the site database, it will need to be "reverted" to what is provided by the feature):

+$ drush fr-all
 }}}
 This command will ensure that all changes in code are applied to the site database. Similarly, when feature code is changed in git, a specific feature or set of features can be updated with the drush fr [feature] command.
