 ## Setup Instructions
 
-1. Merge the `WORKSPACE` file in with your own at the root of your bazel
-directory structure. If you don't have one, simply copy the file.
-2. Merge the `bazelrc` file in with your `.bazelrc` file at the root of your
-bazel directory structure. If you don't have one, simply copy the file and
-rename it to `.bazelrc`. (Note the `.`)
-3. Copy the `emscripten_toolchain` folder along with its contents to the root of
-your bazel directory.
-
-Your directory structure should look like this:

 ## Building
 
 ### Using --config=wasm
+
+Put the following lines into your `.bazelrc`:
+```
+build:wasm --crosstool_top=//emscripten_toolchain:everything
+build:wasm --cpu=wasm
+build:wasm --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain
+```
+
 Simply pass `--config=wasm` when building a normal `cc_binary`. The result of
 this build will be a tar archive containing any files produced by emscripten.
