-A Python-based contact logging tool for amateur radio operators.
+PyQSO is a simple Python-based contact logging tool for amateur radio operators.
+
+Assuming that the current working directory is PyQSO's base directory (the directory that the Makefile is in), PyQSO can be installed via the terminal with the following command:
+
+   `make install`
+
+Note: `sudo` may be needed for this. Once installed, the following command will run PyQSO:
+   
+   pyqso
+
+Alternatively, PyQSO can be run with:
+
+   `python bin/pyqso`
+
+from PyQSO's base directory.
+
+The PyQSO user manual is stored as a LaTeX source file in the doc/ directory. It can be compiled with the following command:
+
+   `make manual`
+
+which will produce the manual.pdf file.
