+without installing it is supported with the following commands:

-## The easy way to prep your system for running ooniprobe
-
-We believe that ooniprobe runs reasonably well on Debian GNU/Linux wheezy as
-well as versions of Ubuntu such as natty and later releases. Running ooniprobe
-without installing it is supported with the following commands:
-
-```
-git clone https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git
-cd ooni-probe
-./setup-dependencies.sh
-./bin/ooniprobe --asciilulz
-```
-
-## Your first network test
-
-We run ooniprobe with a test deck - this is a collection of tests in a single
-file that tells ooniprobe how to run and what data to check or process:
-
-```
-./bin/ooniprobe -i decks/before_i_commit.testdeck
-```
-
-The report output files from the above command will be located in the reports/
-directory of the source code checkout. The report output ends with the .yamloo
-suffix.
-
-## The details
-
-We haven't actually installed ooniprobe - we just added the ooniprobe python
-to your PYTHONPATH. We also installed all of the dependencies with your native
-package manager or into a local directory managed by your user.
-
-## ooniprobe requirements explained
-
-Basic system requirements:
-
- * Git: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
- * Python >= 2.6: http://www.python.org/download/releases/
- * pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
-
-
-## The more detailed way follows
-
-On Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux based systems these can be installed with:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install git-core python python-pip python-dev build-essential tor tor-geoipdb tcpdump python-geoip python-docutils python-ipaddr python-scapy python-pyrex
-```
-
-Other packages that may be of interest:
+## Using ooniprobe
-```
-libdumbnet python-dumbnet python-libpcap python-pypcap pcapy dnspython
-python-virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
-```
+**Net test** is a set of measurements to assess what kind of internet censorship is occurring.
-The Python dependencies required for running ooniprobe are:
+**Decks** are collections of ooniprobe nettests with precabled inputs.
- * Tor (>2.2.x): https://torproject.org/
- * Twisted (>12.1.0): https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/
- * PyYAML: http://pyyaml.org/
- * Scapy: http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/
- * pypcap: https://code.google.com/p/pypcap/
- * libdnet: https://code.google.com/p/libdnet/
- * txtorcon: https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon
- * txsocksx: https://github.com/habnabit/txsocksx

- * docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net
- * ipaddr: http://code.google.com/p/ipaddr-py/
- * Pyrex: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex
+**Collector** is a service used to report the results of measurements.
-## Install Tor
+**Test helper** is a service used by a probe for successfully performing it's measurements.
-Install the latest version of Tor for your platform:
+**Bouncer** is a service used to discover the addresses of test helpers and collectors.
-[Download Tor](https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html)
+### Configuring ooniprobe
-## (Optional) Install obfsproxy
+You may edit the configuration for ooniprobe by editing the configuration file
+found inside of `~/.ooni/ooniprobe.conf`.
-Install the latest version of obfsproxy for your platform.
-
-[Download Obfsproxy](https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en)
-
-## Configurating a virtual environment
-
-You are highly recommended to install python packages from inside of a virtual
-environment, since pip does not download the packages via SSL and you will need
-to install it system wide.
-
-This will require you to have installed virtualenv.
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
-```
-
-To create a new virtual environment do
-
-```
-mkdir $HOME/.virtualenvs
-mkvirtualenv ooni-probe
-```
-
-You will automatically enter the environment. To re-enter this environment in the future, type:
-
-```
-workon ooni-probe
-```
-
-For convenience, you may want to add the following to your .bashrc:
-
-```
-if [ -e ~/ooni-probe/bin ]; then
- export PATH=~/ooni-probe/bin:$PATH
-fi
-if [ -e ~/ooni-probe ]; then
- export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/ooni-probe
-fi
-```
-
-Add the following to $HOME/.virtualenvs/ooni-probe/bin/postactivate to automatically cd into the working directory upon activation.
-
-```
-if [ -e ~/ooni-probe ] ; then
- cd ~/ooni-probe
-fi
-```
-
-## Installing ooni-probe
-
-Clone the ooniprobe repository:
-
-```
-git clone https://git.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git
-cd ooni-probe
-```
-
-Then install OONI with:
-
-```
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-If you are not in a virtualenv you will have to run the above command as root:
-
-```
-sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-## Install libdnet and pypcap python bindings
-
-It's ideal to install these manually since the ones in debian or ubuntu are not
-up to date.
-
-The version of pypcap and libdnet ooniprobe is current tested with are
-libdnet-1.12 and pypcap 1.1, any other version should be considered untested.
+By default ooniprobe will not include personal identifying information in the
+test result, nor create a pcap file. This behavior can be personalized.
-For libdnet:
+### Running decks
-```
-wget https://libdnet.googlecode.com/files/libdnet-1.12.tgz
-tar xzf libdnet-1.12.tgz
-cd libdnet-1.12
-./configure && make
-cd python/
-python setup.py install
-cd ../../ && rm -rf libdnet-1.12*
-```
+You will find all the installed decks inside of `/usr/share/ooni/decks`.
-For pypcap:
+You may then run a deck by using the command line option `-i`:
```
-git clone https://github.com/hellais/pypcap
-cd pypcap/
-pip install pyrex
-python setup.py install
-cd ../ && rm -rf pypcap
+ooniprobe -i /usr/share/decks/basic.deck
```
-## Including your geo data in the test report
+### Running net tests
-Including geografical information on where your probe is located helps us
-better assess the value of the test. You can personalize these setting from
-inside of ooniprobe.conf
-
-If you wish to include geografical data in the test report, you will have to go
-to the data/ directory and run:
+You may list all the installed stable net tests with:
```
-make geoip
+ooniprobe -s
```
-Then edit your ooniprobe.conf to point to the absolute path of where the data/
-directory is located for example:
+You may then run a nettest by specifying it's name for example:
```
-geoip_data_dir: /home/your_user/ooni-probe/data/
+ooniprobe manipulation/http_header_field_manipulation
```
-## Running some tests
-
-To see the possible command line options run:
+It is also possible to specify inputs to tests as URLs:
```
-./bin/ooniprobe --help
+ooniprobe blocking/http_requests -f httpo://ihiderha53f36lsd.onion/input/37e60e13536f6afe47a830bfb6b371b5cf65da66d7ad65137344679b24fdccd1
```
-For interesting tests to run look in the nettests/core/ directory.
-
-To run a test you can do so with:
+You can find the result of the test in your current working directory.
-```
-./bin/ooniprobe -o report_file_name path/to/test.py
-```
+By default the report result will be collected by the default ooni collector
+and the addresses of test helpers will be obtained from the default bouncer.
-Normally tests take options, you can see them with:
+You may also specify your own collector or bouncer with the options `-c` and
+`-b`.
-```
-./bin/ooniprobe -o report_file_name path/to/test.py --help
-```
+## (Optional) Install obfsproxy
-## Configuration
+Install the latest version of obfsproxy for your platform.
-By default ooniprobe will not include personal identifying information in the
-test result, nor create a pcap file. This behavior can be personalized by
-editing your ooniprobe.conf configuration file.
