 This is a fork of http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-for-node/
 
-My intention is just to package it up nicely for NPM and to fix some bugs.
+It now works with the NodeJS 0.6.x series.
 
-I also intend to make it work with the NodeJS 0.6.x series.

+To install on Ubuntu and OSX:
+-------------------------------
 
-1. wget http://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz
-2. tar -xzvf protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz
-3. cd protobuf-2.4.1/
-4. ./configure && make && sudo make install
-5. cd
-6. npm install protobuf
-7. echo "/home/chris/node_modules/protobuf/build/default/" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/protobuf.conf
-   (replace /home/chris/node_modules with wherever you installed the module)
-8. sudo ldconfig
-9. run node, try "require('protobuf');" - you should see: { Schema: [Function: Schema] }
+The first steps are to build and install Google's protobuf library. Make sure you have the right version by running "protoc --version" after the install.
 
+    wget http://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz
+    tar -xzvf protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz
+    cd protobuf-2.4.1/
+    ./configure && make && sudo make install
+    cd
 
+This installs the npm package.
+
+    npm install protobuf
+
+For Ubuntu, the following step may be unneeded now.
+
+    echo "/home/chris/node_modules/protobuf/build/Release/" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/protobuf.conf
+    (replace /home/chris/node_modules with wherever you installed the module)
+
+For Ubuntu, update library paths.
+
+    sudo ldconfig
+
+For OSX, you might need to add the path:
+
+    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/chris/node_modules/protobuf/build/Release:/usr/local/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+And test that it works...  Run node, try 
+
+    require('protobuf');"
+
+you should see: 
+
+    { Schema: [Function: Schema] }
+
+
 As seen from the instructions above, this is my first attempt at packaging a slightly complex C++ module for NPM.
