-# Installation
+## Installation
 
 To install micro, you can download a [prebuilt binary](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases), or you can build it from source.
 
 If you want more information about ways to install micro, see this [wiki page](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/wiki/Installing-Micro).
 
+Use `micro -version` to get the version information after installing. It is only guaranteed that you are installing the most recent
+stable version if you install from the prebuilt binaries, Homebrew, or Snap.
+
 ### Prebuilt binaries
 
 All you need to install micro is one file, the binary itself. It's as simple as that!
 
 Download the binary from the [releases](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases) page.
 
-On that page you'll see the nightly release, which contains binaries for micro which are built every night,
-and you'll see all the stable releases with the corresponding binaries.
-
-If you'd like to see more information after installing micro, run `micro -version`.
-
 ### Installation script
 
-There is a great script which can install micro for you by downloading the latest prebuilt binary. You can find it at https://getmic.ro (the github repo for it is [here](https://github.com/benweissmann/getmic.ro)).

 .SH CONFIGURATION
 
-Micro uses
-\fI$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro\fR
-for configuration by default. If it is not set, micro uses ~/.config/micro.
-Two main configuration files are settings.json, containing the user's
-settings, and bindings.json, containing the user's custom keybindings.
-
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-Micro's behaviour can be changed by setting environment variables, of which there is currently only one:
-\fIMICRO_TRUECOLOR\fR.
-When MICRO_TRUECOLOR is set to 1, micro will attempt to treat your terminal as a true-color terminal and will be able to make full use of the true-color colorschemes that are included with micro. If MICRO_TRUECOLOR is not set or is set to 0, then micro will only make use of 256 color features and will internally map true-color colorschemes to the nearest colors available. For more information see micro's documentation.
+Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory.
+If this environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro instead.
+If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/micro as the configuration directory.
+In the documentation, we use ~/.config/micro to refer to the configuration directory
+(even if it may in fact be somewhere else if you have set either of the above environment variables).
