 ## Build Instructions
 
 * [Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
-* Install the nightly toolchain: `rustup install nightly`
-  * Alternatively, set the environment variable `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1`
 * Clone the repository
-* For a release build, run:
-  * Rust 1.90 or earlier: `cargo build --config .cargo/release.toml --release`
-  * otherwise: `cargo build --config .cargo/release-nightly.toml --release`
+* If you're using nightly Rust:
+  ```sh
+  cargo build --release --config .cargo/release.toml
+  ```
+* If you're using stable Rust:
+  * Ideally: Set the environment variable `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1` and use the **nightly** build instructions above.
+    This is recommended, because it drastically reduces the binary size and slightly improves performance.
+  * Otherwise, simply run:
+    ```sh
+    cargo build --release
+    ```
