-# Lua XMPP Privacy Bot
+# Lua XMPP Sed Bot
 
-This bot replaces links to popular sites such as youtube with privacy respecting front ends such as invidious. It is written in 100% pure lua
+This bot replaces text similar to the 'sed' tool
 
 # How to run
 
 Make sure `make`, `tar`, `gzip`, `lua`, and `luarocks` are installed.
 
-Then do `luarocks install luasocket luaexpat luasec`
+Then do `luarocks install luasocket luaexpat luasec lrexlib-pcre2`
 
 Next configure the bot to your liking in `config.lua`. Also don't forget to copy `config_private_example.lua` to `config_private.lua` and fill that out as well.
 
-Then run the `./run` script. It will download the farside `services.json` list and compile the `verse.lua` xmpp library if it doesn't exist. Then it will start the bot.
