 # Pominal
 
-Pominal is a Pomodoro application for the terminal. Pominal is written in Go.
+## Summary
+
+Pominal is a Pomodoro application for the terminal written in Go.
+Pominal is primarily written for GNU/Linux but might also run fine on Windows and OSX.
+
+## Installation
+
+Before installing Pominal make sure that you have the tools listed below installed on your system:
+
+- Make
+- The latest version of [Go](https://golang.org)
+
+Run the below command to build and install Pominal.
+By default Pominal is installed in /usr/local so you may have to run the command with sudo.
+
+```sh
+$ make clean install
+```
+
+To change the installation path you can edit `INSTALL_PREFIX` in config.mk or set the `INSTALL_PREFIX` variable as you execute `make`:
+
+```sh
+# example install Pominal in your home directory
+$ INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/.local make clean install
+```
+
+If you are installing Pominal on an OS other than GNU/Linux and/or an architecture other than AMD64 then update the `GOOS` and `GOARCH` variables in config.mk.
