+### First run:
+> The program relies on a functioning chrome profile!
+
+For the first run ever, run 
+
+`./launch init`
+
+This will generate a new chrome profile under `coss_archiving/dependencies/news_fetch.profile`.
+You can then go to [http://localhost:7900](http://localhost:7900) in your browser. Verify the profile (under chrome://profile-internals).
+
+Now install two addons: Idontcareaboutcookies (from chrome://extensions) and Bypass Paywalls (from https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome). The script already downloaded the file, so just enable developer mode, click load from unpacked, go to `/user_data/dependencies/news_fetch.profile`, select the directory `bypass-paywalls-chrome-master`.
+
+Whenever you need to make changes to the profile, for instance re-log in to websites, just rerun `./launch init`.
+
 
 ## Building
 
-> The software (firefox, selenium, python) changes frequently. For non-breaking changes it is useful to regularly re build the docker image! This is also crucial to update the code itself.
+> The software **will** change. Because the images referenced in docker compose are usually the `latest` ones, it is sufficient to update the containers.
 
 In docker compose, run
