The current template config also contains very detailed instructions and is probably the best way to get started. How much you need to set up depends on your specific use case - pure client, steady/interrupted connectivity, server for other machines on the LAN.. If you only want to be a client just add one or multiple servers to the config and you are good to go; chrony works well pretty much out of the box. -h
