+Installation
+--------------
+
+kitty is designed to run from source, for easy hackability. Make sure the
+following dependencies are installed first:
+
+    * python >= 3.5
+    * glew >= 2.0
+    * glfw-dev >= 3.2
+    * freetype
+    * fontconfig
+    * gcc (required for building, clang should also work, but it is not tested)
+    * pkg-config (required for building)
+
+Now build the C parts of kitty with the following command:
+
+    python3 setup.py build
+
+You can run kitty, as:
+
+    python3 /path/to/kitty/folder
+
+Configuration
+---------------
+
+kitty is highly customizable, everything from keyboard shortcuts, to painting
+frames-per-second. See the heavily commented [default config file](kitty/kitty.conf).
+By default kitty looks for a config file in the OS
+config directory (usually `~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf` on linux) but you can pass
+a specific path via the `--config` option.
