 To install `csto` (the Callisto standalone executable) and

+## Usage
+
+The standalone Callisto interpreter is called `csto`. Running it
+will start a REPL so you can execute chunks of code interactively.
+
+csto works like the standalone Lua 5.4 interpreter. To run a file,
+run `csto <file>` where *<file>* is the name of the file you want
+to run. Alternatively, you can put `#!/usr/bin/env csto` at the top
+of your script, run `chmod +x` on it, and then you can run the script
+as if it was a standalone executable, for example `./yourscript.lua`.
