+simple_backup
+============
 A simple backup script
 
 ## Description
 simple_backup is a Python script that allows you to backup your files.
-It reads from a configuration file the files/directories that must be copied,
-the destination directory for the backup and a few other options.
+Parameters like input files/directories, output directory etc. can be specified in a configuration file, or on the command line. Run:
+
+```bash
+simple_backup -h
+```
+
+to print all possible command line options.
 
 ## Dependencies
-rsync is used to perform the backup.  
+The script uses rsync to actually run the backup, so you will have to install it on your system. For example on Arch Linux:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -Syu rsync
+```
+
+## Install
+To install the program, first clone the repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Fuxino/simple_backup.git
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+cd simple_backup
+python -m build --wheel
+python -m installer dist/*.whl
+
+For Arch Linux, a PKGBUILD that automates this process is provided.
