 ## Dependencies
-* `jq`, `curl` and `nickle` - On Debian, you can install with `sudo apt install jq curl nickle`.
+* `jq` (1.7 and later), `curl` and `nickle` - On Debian, you can install with `sudo apt install curl nickle` and get `jq` from here: https://jqlang.github.io/jq/download/ - The version of `jq` shipped with a lot of distributions is apparently very old; you need 1.7 and later.
 * `uname`, `xargs`, `ls`, `cat`, `tr`, `mkdir`, `tee`, `dirname`, `sha1sum`, `sed`, `basename`, `date`, `xargs` - Listed for good measure, but you should almost certainly have all of these unless you are using an incomplete distribution/operating system.
 * A POSIX-compatible shell - If you are on Linux or a UNIX-based operating system, you almost certainly have one.
 * A Java runtime - Check with your distribution for installing. On Debian-based systems, the package is usually `default-jre` or `openjdk-<version>-jre`.
