 ============
 
-phpSQLiteCMS is a simple and lightweight web content management system based on PHP and SQLite.
+<a href="http://phpsqlitecms.net/">phpSQLiteCMS</a> is a simple and lightweight open source web content management system (CMS) based on <a href="http://php.net/">PHP</a> and <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/">SQLite</a>. As SQLite is file-based, it just runs "out of the box" without installation.
+
+System requirements
+-------------------
+
+* Apache webserver with <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a> and <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/htaccess.html">.htaccess file support</a> enabled
+* PHP 5 with <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php">PDO</a> and <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlite.php">SQLite driver</a> enabled
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1. Load up the script files to your server
+2. Depending on your server configuration you may need to change the write permissions of the following files/directories:
+     * **cms/data** - directory of the SQLite database files, needs to be writable by the webserver
+     * **content.sqlite**, **entries.sqlite** and **userdata.sqlite** - SQLite database files, need to be writable by the webserver
+     * **cms/cache** - cache directory, needs to be writable if you want to use the caching feature
+     * **cms/media** and **cms/files** - need to be writable if you want to use the file uploader
+3. Ready! You should now be able to access the index page by browsing to the address you uploaded phpSQLiteCMS (e.g. http://example.org/path/to/phpsqlitecms/). To administrate the page, go to http://example.org/path/to/phpsqlitecms/cms/. The default admin userdata is: username: admin, password: admin.
