 We don't recommend using the dev environment when running Daylight. The code that runs in the dev environment is unoptimized and will most likely be slow. Build it, then run. 
 This is a Proxathon 2024 entry.

+## Official Instance
+The official instance (demo) is available [here](https://daylight-prod.vercel.app). (do not believe whatever link is in the description, that is outdated.)
+
+## Deployment
+
+To run the Daylight demo, first clone the repo by running: 
+`git clone https://github.com/NightProxy/Daylight`
+Then, go into the newly created folder, named Daylight.
+`cd Daylight`
+
+Then, run this code:
+`npm i && npm run dyl`
+Replace npm in the above code with pnpm, yarn, or bun corresponding to your package manager of choice.
+
+After you've successfully ran it with no issues, Daylight will be available at localhost:8080.
