 # Summary
 
 Onionr is a decentralized, peer-to-peer data storage network, designed to be anonymous and resistant to (meta)data analysis and spam.
 
-Onionr can be used for mail, as a social network, instant messenger, file sharing software, or for encrypted group discussion.
+Onionr stores data in independent packages referred to as 'blocks' (not to be confused with a blockchain). The blocks are synced to all other nodes in the network. Blocks and user IDs cannot be easily proven to have been created by particular nodes (only inferred).
 
-# Roadmap/features
+Users are identified by ed25519 public keys, which can be used to sign blocks (optional) or send encrypted data.

+The following applies to Ubuntu Bionic. Other distros may have different package or command names.
+
+* Have python3.5+, python3-pip, Tor (daemon, not browser) installed (python3-dev recommended)
+* Clone the git repo: `$ git clone https://gitlab.com/beardog/onionr`
+* cd into install direction: `$ cd onionr/`
+* Install the Python dependencies ([virtualenv strongly recommended](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/)): `$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
 
 ## Help out
 
-Everyone is welcome to help out. Please get in touch first if you are making non-trivial changes. If you can't help with programming, you can write documentation or guides.
+Everyone is welcome to help out. Help is wanted for the following:
