+### Configure
+Here are what you need to configure before running mastermind:
+- API key
+- The base URL of an OpenAI-compatible API
+- A default language model
+
+There are two ways to configure this program:
+#### Config File
+During the first run, a config file will be created at your system's preferred location. The specific location will be given in the output. Generally, it is located at:
+- For Linux: `$HOME/.config/mastermind/config.toml`
+- For macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/mastermind/config.toml`
+- For Windows: `C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\mastermind\config.toml`
+
+#### Environment Variables
+Make a copy of [`example.env`](example.env) and name it `.env`
+
+```bash
+cp example.env .env
+```
+
+Then edit `.env` and provide you preferred configuration.
+
+Alternatively, you can simply pass these environment variables during run time.
