+## auto-install
+
+clone the repository into your home (~) directory:
+
+`cd ~`
 
-clone the repo and place the mango and sdgos folders in your .config folder:
 `git clone https://git.sdgcloud.nl/SDGDen/SDG-OS.git`
 
+make the install script executable
+
 `cd SDG-OS`
+
+`chmod a+x install.sh`
+
+run the install script
+
+`./install.sh`
+
+this will also set up automatic updates. any files you manually alter will stop auto-updating.
+
+updates run automatically on startup via git pull, you can update manually by going into the SDG-OS directory and running `git pull`
+
+to turn updates off, run the following command:
+
+`echo "off" > ~/.coinfig/SDGupdate.state`
+
+## manual install
+
+clone the repo.
+
+`git clone https://git.sdgcloud.nl/SDGDen/SDG-OS.git`
+
+copy the files to your .config folder if you want to modify them yourself
+
+`cd SDG-OS`
+
 `cp -r mango ~/.config`
+
 `cp -r sdgos ~/.config`
 
+or use stow to symlink them if you want automatic updates
+
+`cd SDG-OS`
+
+`stow .`
+
+or manually symlink them
+
+`sudo ln -sf /home/$(whoami)/SDG-OS/mango /home/$(whoami)/.config`
+
+`sudo ln -sf /home/$(whoami)/SDG-OS/sdgos /home/$(whoami)/.config`
+
 then make the scripts in the sdgos folder executable:
+
 `sudo chmod -R a+x ~/.config/sdgos`
 
-you can also use stow to symlink these to your .config folder instead, this allows you to store the files anywhere and also update via git pull, but means you cannot personally alter the config. 
+lastly, pick whether you want to use automatic updates or not (only relevant if you used stow or symlinks)
+
+`echo "on" > ~/.config/SDGupdate.state`
+
+use "on" for automatic updates on boot or "off" to not have automatic updates
