 # Requirements
-Running the bot requires Python (specifically version 3.6) and PostgreSQL.
+Running the bot requires [.NET Core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) (>=2.2) and a PostgreSQL database.
 
 # Configuration
-Configuring the bot is done through a configuration file. An example of the configuration format can be seen in [`pluralkit.conf.example`](https://github.com/xSke/PluralKit/blob/master/pluralkit.conf.example).
+Configuring the bot is done through a JSON configuration file. An example of the configuration format can be seen in [`pluralkit.conf.example`](https://github.com/xSke/PluralKit/blob/master/pluralkit.conf.example).
+The configuration file needs to be placed in the bot's working directory (usually the repository root) and must be called `pluralkit.conf`.
+
+The configuration file is in JSON format (albeit with a `.conf` extension), and the following keys (using `.` to indicate a nested object level) are available:
 
 The following keys are available:
-* `token`: the Discord bot token to connect with
+* `PluralKit.Database`: the URI of the database to connect to (in [ADO.NET Npgsql format](https://www.connectionstrings.com/npgsql/): `postgres://username:password@hostname:port/database_name`)
-* `database_uri`: the URI of the database to connect to (format: `postgres://username:password@hostname:port/database_name`)
+* `PluralKit.Bot.Token`: the Discord bot token to connect with
-* `log_channel` (optional): a Discord channel ID the bot will post exception tracebacks in (make this private!)
-
-The environment variables `TOKEN` and `DATABASE_URI` will override the configuration file values when present.
