+Oekaki
+------
+
+vichan makes use of [wPaint](https://github.com/websanova/wPaint) for oekaki. After you pull the repository, however, you will need to download wPaint separately using git's `submodule` feature. Use the following commands:
+
+```
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
+```
+
+To enable oekaki, add all the scripts listed in `js/oekaki.js` to your `instance-config.php`.
