+## Quickstart
+
+While we strongly advise reading this page and the wiki, if you can't wait to start using `nnn`:
+
+1. Install the [utilities you may need](https://github.com/jarun/nnn#utility-dependencies) based on your regular workflows.
+2. Configure [cd on quit](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Basic-use-cases#configure-cd-on-quit).
+3. Optionally open all text files in `$EDITOR` (fallback vi): `export NNN_USE_EDITOR=1`
+4. For additional functionality [install plugins](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/plugins#installing-plugins) and the GUI app launcher [`nlaunch`](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/tree/master/misc/nlaunch).

+- Don't memorize keys. Arrows, / and q suffice. Press ? for help on keyboard shortcuts anytime.
+- To set `nnn` as the default file manager, follow these [instructions](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Advanced-use-cases#configure-as-default-fm).
