+Clone and run this on a new EC2 instance running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS to
+configure your `bash` and `emacs` development environment as follows:
 
-Configuration files for CS184: Startup Engineering. Meant to be forked and edited by students.
+```sh
+cd $HOME
+git clone https://github.com/startup-class/dotfiles.git
+ln -sb dotfiles/.screenrc .
+ln -sb dotfiles/.bash_profile .
+ln -sb dotfiles/.bashrc .
+ln -sb dotfiles/.bashrc_custom .
+mv .emacs.d .emacs.d~
+ln -s dotfiles/.emacs.d .
+```
+
+See also http://github.com/startup-class/setup to install prerequisite
+programs. If all goes well, in addition to a more useful prompt, now you can
+do `emacs -nw hello.js` and hitting `C-c!` to launch an interactive SSJS
+REPL, among many other features. See the
+[Startup Engineering Video Lectures 4a/4b](https://class.coursera.org/startup-001/lecture/index)
+for more details.
