+# Pre-requisites #
+
+If you want to build the manpage, you will need [ronn] [1].
+Debian 7.0 and above come with a package, so do most Debian clones.
+
+To install ronn on your Debian-based system, simply run
+
+	apt-get install ruby-ronn
+
+There are no other dependencies other than `git`, `ronn` and a POSIX shell.
+
+
+# Installing #
+
+	sudo make install
+
+
+# Uninstalling #
+
+	sudo make uninstall
+
+There is another, more thorough, version. Just make sure you are not running
+this when you have installed to an important directory which is empty,
+otherwise.
+
+**THIS WILL DELETE /usr/local IF YOU INSTALLED THERE AND IT BECOMES EMPTY**
+
+	sudo make purge
+
+**THIS WILL DELETE /usr/local IF YOU INSTALLED THERE AND IT BECOMES EMPTY**
+
+This is not in the default behaviour of `make uninstall` for obvious reasons.
+
+
+# Other stuff #
+
+To clean up the generated manpage, run
+
+	make clean
+
+and if you are bored, I suggest
+
+	make moo
