 Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed.

+See the manual -- https://ninja-build.org/manual.html or
 doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution -- for background
 and more details.
 
-To build, run ./bootstrap.py.  It first blindly compiles all non-test
-source files together, then re-builds Ninja using itself.  You should
-end up with a 'ninja' binary in the source root.  Run './ninja -h' for
-help.
+Binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows are available at
+  https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases
+Run './ninja -h' for Ninja help.
 
-There is no installation step.  The only file of interest to a user
-is the resulting ninja binary.
+To build your own binary, on many platforms it should be sufficient to
+just run `./configure.py --bootstrap`; for more details see HACKING.md.
+(Also read that before making changes to Ninja, as it has advice.)
+
+Installation is not necessary because the only required file is the
+resulting ninja binary. However, to enable features like Bash
+completion and Emacs and Vim editing modes, some files in misc/ must be
+copied to appropriate locations.
 
 If you're interested in making changes to Ninja, read HACKING.md first.
