This package provides support for using [[https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/][Chez Scheme]] in Emacs with
[[http://geiser.nongnu.org][Geiser]].
-Provided [[https://gitlab.com/emacs-geiser/geiser][geiser]] is installed in your system, if this package's
-directory is in your load path, just add ~(require 'geiser-chez)~ to
-your initialisation files and then ~M-x run-chez~ to start a REPL.
+* Installation
+
+ The easiest way of installing this package is via NonGNU Elpa or MELPA. If
+ you're in Emacs 28 or higher, the former is already enabled and all you need
+ is the familiar
+
+ #+begin_src elisp
+ M-x install-package RET geiser-chez RET
+ #+end_src
+
+ That will also install the ~geiser~ package, and its fine info manual. Please
+ refer to it (or its [[https://geiser.nongnu.org][online version]]) for a general description of how geiser
+ schemes work. We provide below some additional details specific to
+ geiser-chez.
+
+** Manual installation
+
+ Provided [[https://gitlab.com/emacs-geiser/geiser][geiser]] is installed in your system, if this package's directory is
+ in your load path, just add ~(require 'geiser-chez)~ to your initialisation
+ files.
+
+
+* Start up
+
+ You can use ~M-x geiser-chez~ to start a Chez REPL, or jump to geiser from
+ any scheme buffer.
+
+ If you don't have any other Geiser flavour installed, all scheme files
+ should be automatically recognised as Chez-flavoured Geiser buffers.
+
+** Tramp support
-The easiest way to install this package is from MELPA.
+ Geiser-chez can be used remotely via tramp connections. If you start a
+ REPL session from a remote directory or file, the REPL process will be run
+ in the machine where the tramp-accessed file lives, after copying there any
+ necessary scheme libraries.
