-If you don't have one, ZecWallet will start its embedded zcashd node.
+You need to manually start the zcashd node so that Zecwallet can connect to it. The first time you run zcashd, you need to:
 
-Additionally, if this is the first time you're running ZecWallet or a zcashd daemon, ZecWallet will download the Zcash params (~777 MB) and configure `zcash.conf` for you.
+1. Create a zcash.conf file with at least:
+
+```
+server=1
+rpcuser=<someusername>
+rpcpassword=<somepassword>
+```
+
+2. Run `./fetch-params.sh` to get the Zcash params
+
+3. Run `./zcashd-wallet-tool` to configure your seed phrase and set up your Orchard accounts.
+
+All binaries needed are included in the distribution.

-ZecWallet is written in Electron/Javascript and can be build from source. Note that if you are compiling from source, you won't get the embedded zcashd by default. You can either run an external zcashd, or compile zcashd as well.
