 Skeleton project for TypeScript with testing via [Deno](https://deno.land/).
 
-Make sure you have Deno installed by running `deno --version`.
+## Prerequisites
 
-If using VSCode, you might want to enable the extension in the settings:
+The toolchain this project needs is declared in [`.tool-versions`](./.tool-versions):
 
-```jsonc
-// .vscode/settings.json
-{
-  "deno.enable": true,
-  // or specifically
-  "deno.enablePaths": ["./typescript-deno"]
-}
+```
+deno 2
+```
+
+Install those however you prefer, as long as they end up on your `PATH`. The quickest route is
+[mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/), which reads the file for you:
+
+```sh
+mise install
 ```
 
 ## Usage
 
-- `./script/start` to run the source code
-- `./script/test` to run the tests in watch mode
+- `./script/setup` to fetch dependencies
+- `./script/test` to run the tests, or `./script/test --watch` to re-run them on every change
+- `./script/start` to run the app
