 ## First Run
 
-1. Start OpenCode server in a separate terminal:
+1. Install the `opencode` CLI and confirm `opencode --version` works in your terminal.
 
-```bash
-opencode serve --port 4040
-```
+2. Launch OpenCode Monitor.
+
+3. Open `Settings -> OpenCode` if you want to verify the managed server status. The app starts and monitors its own local OpenCode server, which defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:14096`.
+
+4. Add a workspace and start a thread.
 
-2. Start OpenCode Monitor:
+## Development
+
+To run from source:
 
 ```bash
 npm install
 npm run tauri:dev
 ```
 
-3. In Settings -> Server, ensure the backend URL points to your OpenCode server (default: `http://127.0.0.1:4040`).
