 # Requirements
-- lbrynet SDK https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases (We strive to keep the latest release of ytsync compatible with the latest major release of the SDK)
+- lbrynet SDK https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk/releases (We strive to keep the latest release of ytsync compatible with the latest major release of the SDK)
 - a lbrycrd node running (localhost or on a remote machine) with credits in it
+- internal-apis (you cannot run this one yourself)
+- python3-pip
+- yt-dlp (`pip3 install -U yt-dlp`)
+- ffmpeg (latest)
 
 # Setup
 - make sure daemon is stopped and can be controlled through `systemctl` (find example below)
 - extract the ytsync binary anywhere
-- add the environment variables necessary to the tool
+- create and fill `config.json` using [this example](config.json.example)
