-Assets from commits on `main` are available at `dl.oxide.computer/releases/console/<sha>.tar.gz`. The latest `main` is probably what you want and can always be found at https://dl.oxide.computer/releases/console/main.tar.gz in addition to the path with the SHA.
+Assets from commits on `main` are available at `dl.oxide.computer/releases/console/<sha>.tar.gz`. A console version is pinned in Omicron in the file `tools/console_version`, and the prereqs script `./tools/install_prerequisites.sh` will download the tarball and extract it in the right place.
 
-If you want to use a version of the console that's already merged into `main`, just download the tarball and extract the files into the directory configured as `console.static_dir` in the Nexus config (the default in the example config `nexus/static`).
+If you want to use a different commit than the one that's pinned, just change the commmit hash and SHA256 in that file (get the SHA256 at `https://dl.oxide.computer/releases/console/<commit>.sha256.txt`) and re-run the script.
 
 Following the rest of the instructions is only necessary if you want to build the assets yourself, for example if you're making a change to the console and want to test it locally against Nexus.
 
-### Choosing a Console version to download
-
-Most of the time you will want the latest commit on `main`. Look at [`OMICRON_VERSION`](/OMICRON_VERSION) to see what Omicron SHA that version of the console expects. Often it will work with a newer version of the API, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.

 I would run `yarn build-for-nexus` in `console` and then use the following command to copy the files over:
 
 ```bash
-cp -R dist/ ../omicron/nexus/static

 The `/` after `dist` is there on purpose — if the target directory already exists, if I leave off the `/` it will copy `dist` into the target with its contents inside rather than the copying only the contents.
