Hi Maxim, I guess I was using the 1st option as a completely new user. How about including some usage exampled in the install section's description[1] and marking file argument description[2] as mutually exclusive?
Also, an update to the installation part of the docs would improve usability of setting up om. I'm not sure whether this is already planned. What do you think?
