+Basic Installation
+==================
+
+        AcritoxInstaller uses the cmake build system. The simple instructions for
+building acritoxinstaller are these commands:
+
+                        mkdir ../acritoxinstaller-build && cd ../acritoxinstaller-build
+                        cmake ../acritoxinstaller
+                        make
+                        make install
+
+        Some components of acritoxinstaller may have dependencies. If these
+are not met when the 'cmake' command is run, those components will not be
+built. The output of 'cmake' should make it clear what these dependencies are
+and how to meet them.
+
+        Arguments can be given to cmake similar to those given to a traditional
+configure script, like the install prefix. See 'cmake --help-full' for more
+information. For example, 'configure --prefix=/usr/lib' translates to
+'cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib'.
