 A E2E aware matrix proxy daemon.
 
 This still in an early development phase.
+
+Instalation
+===========
+
+The [Olm](https://git.matrix.org/git/olm/) C library is required to be installed
+before installing pantalaimon.
+
+Instalation works like usually with python packages:
+
+    python setup.py install
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Running the daemon is relatively easy:
+
+    pantalaimon https://example.org:443
+
+After running the daemon configure your client to connect to the daemon instead
+of your homeserver. The daemon listens by default on localhost and port 8009.
+
+The listening address and port can be configured:
+
+    pantalaimon -l 127.0.0.1 -p 8008 https://example.org:8008
