 This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Some things in macOS are slightly difficult to automate, so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.
 
-This is a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Mac's setup. I'll be evolving this set of playbooks over time.

+### Use with a remote Mac
+
+You can use this playbook to manage other Macs as well; the playbook doesn't even need to be run from a Mac at all! If you want to manage a remote Mac, either another Mac on your network, or a hosted Mac like the ones from [MacStadium](https://www.macstadium.com), you just need to make sure you can connect to it with SSH:
+
+  1. (On the Mac you want to connect to:) Go to System Preferences > Sharing.
+  2. Enable 'Remote Login'.
+
+Then edit the `inventory` file in this repository and change the line that starts with `127.0.0.1` to:
+
+```
+[ip address or hostname of mac]  ansible_user=[mac ssh username]
+```
+
+If you need to supply an SSH password (if you don't use SSH keys), make sure to pass the `--ask-pass` parameter to the `ansible-playbook` command.
