+Using DSCIP
+================================================================================
+Using DSCIP is extremely simple, there's two ways you can run it.
+A. Running it as a cronjob that runs periodically.
+B. Running it as a daemon that runs continually.
+
+Funcionally, these two methods work about the same, but depending on your
+platform, one may be easier to set up than the other. I personally recommend
+setting it up as a cronjob over a daemon. You can do this on most unix systems
+by running `crontab -e -u build_user` and adding:
+* * * * * /home/build_user/program/dscip
+
+As for how to make it run as a daemon, that depends on the platform you are
+running it on, so refer to your OS's documentation for that.
+
+Quirks:
+When running it on windows, you should use MSYS2.
