+This is a simple standalone application that talks to the
+"i2pcontrol" jsonrpc interface on I2P routers.
+
 Current setup:
 * Build itoopie:
+    Dependencies: ant, Java SDK
     'ant' in the i2p.itoopie directory
 * Run:
+    Dependencies: Java runtime and an I2P router that supports the jsonrpc interface
     java -jar dist/itoopie.jar
 
+The router jsonrpc interface is configured by default for https at localhost:7650.
+7650 is the default port for i2pd and the old Java router console "i2pcontrol" plugin.
+
+For i2pd, the jsonrpc interface is off by default.
+You must set i2pcontrol.enabled=true in i2pd.conf.
+See https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/#i2pcontrol-interface
+for more information and other options.
+
+The Java router console now bundles the jsonrpc interface by default
+as a webapp on port 7657, and the i2pcontrol plugin is no longer necessary.
+You may disable or remove the plugin at http://localhost:7657/configplugins
+The jsonrpc webapp is off by default.
+To start it, go to http://localhost:7657/configwebapps and start the
+"jsonrpc" webapp. To always run it, click the "Run at Startup" setting
+and click "Save WebApp Configuration".
+You MUST change itoopie's "I2P Node port" to 7657 to connect to the jsonrpc webapp.
+itoopie will automatically use http for port 7657.
