 ## Installation
 You need a *php* enabled web server, for example *nginx* with *php-fpm*.
-To Install the app files in `/www/imgsort2`,  use `make install DEST=/www/imgsort2`.
-The web server needs to serve the app files as well as the directory containg all images, called `rootDir`.
-You need to configure the `$rootDir` and `$rootPath` as well as the `$stagingDirName` accordingly in the `imgsort.php` file.
+Configure the `Makefile` by setting the 
+- `ROOT_DIR` to the directory containg all images
+- `INSTALL_DIR` to the directory that should contain the app files
 
-If you a using nextcloud, make sure to have the `rootDir` directory as an "external" storage media and not in the main nextcloud `data` directory.
+Then, run `make install` (with sufficent permissions for `INSTALL_DIR`) to install the application files.
+This will also create a `imgsort2-nginx.conf` and `imgsort2-php-fpm.conf` in the current directory, which you 
+can use as basis for your web server and php configuration.
+
+If you a using nextcloud, make sure to have directory set as `ROOT_DIR` as an **external** storage media and not in the main nextcloud `data` directory.
 
 **The app has no authentication system. Only expose it locally or use something like nginx basic auth to restrict access!**
