+
+## Installation
+
+Current build dependencies are as follows:
+
+* `rustc/cargo >= 1.36`
+* `libsqlite3-dev`
+
+The installation for the build deps will vary based on your OS (`Linux, BSD`)
+
+Clone the repository and jump into the directory:
+
+```
+$ git clone git://github.com/gbmor/clinte.git
+...
+$ cd clinte
+```
+
+Run the makefile and install:
+
+```
+$ make
+...
+...Done!
+
+$ sudo make install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Issuing the program name itself will list
+the currently available posts, like in the screenshot above.
+
+To make a new post:
+
+```
+$ clinte post
+```
+
+`clinte` will then ask for the title of the post, and the body. The username will be
+tagged automatically by your logged-in username, reflecting its intended use on
+multi-user UNIX-like systems.
+
+## Contributing
+
+This is very new, so feel free to hack on it in any way you
+please and submit a PR! I'll be working on it myself over the next several days
+to flesh it out.
