 ## Configuration
 
-  This plugin doesn't have a `setup()` method, but you can set your filetype handlers using the `set_handler()` method.
-
-  Default handlers can be found [here](./lua/runner/handlers/init.lua).
+  #### `setup(options)`
+  
+  Runner comes with the following defaults:
+  ```lua
+  require('runner').setup({
+    position = 'right', -- position of task window can be: top, left, right, bottom
+    width = 80,         -- width of window when position is left or right
+    height = 10,        -- height of window when position is top or bottom
+  })
+  ```
 
   #### `set_handler(filetype, handler)`
+  
+  Default handlers can be found [here](./lua/runner/handlers/init.lua).
+
   | Argument name | Description | Type |
   |---------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
   | `filetype` | The filetype on which to run the given handler | `string` |
