+#### Running
+
+In order to run the compiled binary, you must obtain a copy of a Windows64 build `Common` folder containing compiled media assets to the same directory as the `Minecraft.Client` executable. 
+
+At this time, we don't have the necessary tools to build game resources without Visual Studio, so for the time being these can be obtained from the latest [MinecraftConsoles nightly](https://github.com/smartcmd/MinecraftConsoles/releases/tag/nightly).
+
+1. Download `LCEWindows64.zip` and extract.
+2. Copy the `Common` directory to the same directory as the compiled `Minecraft.Client` binary.
+3. Run `./Minecraft.Client`.

 #### Clean
 
-Remove the build directory to do a full clean:
-
-(CAREFUL SPONGEBOB CAREFUL)
 ```bash
-rm -rf build_meson

-Then re-run `meson setup build_meson` to reconfigure.
