 ## Getting started
 
-I assume that you have a basic understanding of XMPP and the transport concept.
-transWhat is a XMPP transport. It is based on the Spectrum 2 XMPP transport framework and the Yowsup 2 library to interface with WhatsApp.
+I assume that you have a basic understanding of XMPP and the the concept of a XMPP component / transport. If not, please get a book about Jabber or read the standards.
 
-Before getting started, please make sure that you have a XMPP server running.
-I am using Prosody for this.
+transWhat is a XMPP transport. By this means it extends the functionallity of an existing XMPP server. It acts as a gateway between the XMPP and WhatsApp networks. It receives WhatsApp messages and forwards them to your XMPP client (and vice-versa).
 
-After this we have to install several dependencies:
+The implementation of transWhat is based on the [Spectrum 2](http://www.spectrum.im) framework and the [Yowsup 2](https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup) library to interface with WhatsApp.
 
-### Dependencies
+The following chart summarizes the involved components and the protocols they use to communicate.
 
-#### Python packages
+### Prosody
 
-    pip install --pre e4u protobuf mysql python-dateutil
+##### Installation
+
+I will not cover the installation of Prosody in this guide. Please look for some other tutorials on how to do that.
+
+##### Configuration
+
+The only important thing for us is the configuration of a XMPP component (Spectrum 2 in our case).
+See http://prosody.im/doc/components.
+
+Append the following at the end of `/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`
+
+    Component "whatsapp.0l.de"
+        component_secret = "whatsappsucks"
+        component_ports = { 5221 }
+        component_interface = "127.0.0.1"
+
+### Spectrum 2
+
+##### Installation
+
+Manual compile latest version from [Github](https://github.com/hanzz/libtransport).
+You can use the following guide: http://spectrum.im/documentation/installation/from_source_code.html.
+
+##### Configuration
+
+Create a new file `/etc/spectrum2/transports/whatsapp.cfg` with the following content:
+
+    [service]
+    user = spectrum
+    group = spectrum
+
+    jid = whatsapp.0l.de
+
+    server = localhost
+    password = whatsappsucks
+    port = 5221
+
+    backend_host = localhost
+    backend = /location/to/transwhat/transwhat.py
+    
+    users_per_backend = 10
+    more_resources = 1
+    
+    admin_jid = your@jid.example
+    
+    [identity]
+    name = transWhat
+    type = xmpp
+    category = gateway
+    
+    [logging]
+    config = /etc/spectrum2/logging.cfg
+    backend_config = /etc/spectrum2/backend-logging.cfg
+
+### transWhat
+
+##### Installation
+
+Checkout the latest version of transWhat from GitHub:
+
+    $ git clone git@github.com:stv0g/transwhat.git
+    
+Install required dependencies:
+
+    $ pip install --pre e4u protobuf mysql python-dateutil
 
   - **e4u**: is a simple emoji4unicode python bindings
   - [**yowsup**](https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup): is a python library that enables you build application which use WhatsApp service.
   - **mysqldb**: MySQL client python bindings
 
-#### Spectrum 2
+##### Configuration
 
-Manual compile latest version from [Github](https://github.com/hanzz/libtransport).
-You can use the following guide: http://spectrum.im/documentation/installation/from_source_code.html.
+First create a new mySQL database named `transwhat` and fill it with the [schema](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stv0g/transwhat/yowsup-2/conf/schema.sql) provided in the repo.
 
-### Installation
+Then create a new file called `constants.py` in the newly checked out transWhat Git repository:
 
-    git clone git@github.com:stv0g/transwhat.git
-
-### Configuration of Prosody
-
-See http://prosody.im/doc/components.
-
-    Component "whatsapp.0l.de"
-         component_secret = "whatsappsucks"
-        component_ports = { 5221 }
-        component_interface = "127.0.0.1"
