+### Development (unstable) build
+Pick one from the [Releases](https://github.com/up9inc/mizu/releases) page.
+
+## How to run
 
 1. Find pod you'd like to tap to in your Kubernetes cluster
-2. Run `mizu --pod podname`
+2. Run `mizu PODNAME` or `mizu REGEX` 
 3. Open browser on `http://localhost:8899` as instructed .. 
 4. Watch the WebAPI traffic flowing ..
+5. Type ^C to stop
+
+## Examples
+
+To tap specific pod - 
+``` 
+ $ kubectl get pods | grep front-end
+ NAME                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+ front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn       2/2     Running   0          7m
+ $ mizu tap front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn
+ +front-end-649fc5fd6-kqbtn
+ Web interface is now available at http://localhost:8899
+ ^C
+```
