+## Launching the Application
+
+After installation, there are several ways to launch LBRY Downloader:
+
+### Method 1: Launcher Script (Recommended)
+
+The setup script creates launcher scripts in `~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader/bin/`:
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to install directory
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+
+# Run the downloader
+./bin/lbry-downloader --dry-run
+
+# Or run without changing directory
+~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader/bin/lbry-downloader --dry-run
+```
+
+### Method 2: Add to PATH
+
+Add the bin directory to your PATH to run from anywhere:
+
+```bash
+# Add to PATH (one-time setup)
+echo 'export PATH="$HOME/Documents/LBRY-Downloader/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+# Now run from any directory
+lbry-downloader --dry-run
+lbry-downloader
+```
+
+### Method 3: Using Virtual Environment
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+source venv/bin/activate
+python main.py --dry-run
+```
+
+### Method 4: Quick Test
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+./bin/lbry-test  # Automatically runs with --dry-run
+```
+
+### Prerequisites: Start the Daemon
+
+**Important:** Always start the LBRY daemon before running the downloader:
+
+```bash
+# Check if daemon is running
+lbrynet status
+
+# Start if not running
+lbrynet start
+
+# Or if using systemd
+sudo systemctl start lbrynet

+
+### Start the LBRY Daemon First
+
+**Important:** The LBRY daemon must be running before using the downloader:
 
 ```bash
-# Test what would be downloaded
+# Start the daemon
+lbrynet start
+
+# Check if it's running
+lbrynet status
+```

+## Launching the Application
+
+After installation, you can launch LBRY Downloader in several ways:
+
+### Method 1: Using the Launcher Script (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Run from install directory
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+./bin/lbry-downloader
+
+# Or if you added it to your PATH (see below)
+lbry-downloader
+```
+
+### Method 2: Using the Virtual Environment
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+source venv/bin/activate
+python main.py
+```
+
+### Method 3: Quick Test Script
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Documents/LBRY-Downloader
+./bin/lbry-test  # Automatically runs with --dry-run
+```
+
+### Add to PATH (Run from Anywhere)
+
+Add this to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$HOME/Documents/LBRY-Downloader/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+Then reload your shell:
+```bash
+source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+Now you can run `lbry-downloader` from any directory!
+
+### Prerequisites Before Running
+
+**Important:** Make sure the LBRY daemon is running first:
+
+```bash
+# Start the daemon
+lbrynet start
+
+# Check if it's running
+lbrynet status
+```
