-Also see the two example programs in the `example` directory:
+Install `cmd/sss` to use the command line interface:
+
+	go install github.com/kyodo-tech/shamir/cmd/sss@latest
+
+Then run `sss` to split a secret into shares and combine them to reconstruct the secret:
 
 ```sh
-go run example/split.go "my secret"
+Usage: sss -mode=split -secret=<secret> -n=<number of shares> -T=<threshold>
+# Example:
+sss -secret "my secret"
 # Output:
