+Installing Ratatöskr
+====================
+
+Step 0: Requirements
+--------------------
+
+* Apache Webserver with PHP 5.3
+* These PHP modules (usually installed): gd, hash, session, mysql
+* A MySQL server.
+
+Step 1: Get additional libraries
+--------------------------------
+
+You need these libraries to run Ratatöskr (it is probably already bundled with these):
+
+1. Stupid Template Engine (STE)
+   
+   Place "stupid_template_engine.php" directly into this directory.
+   
+   STE can be found here: <https://github.com/kch42/Stupid-Template-Engine>
+
+2. PHP Markdown
+   
+   Place "markdown.php" from the archive directly into this directory.
+   
+   PHP Markdown can be found here: <http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/>
+
+3. kses
+   
+   Place "kses.php" from the archive directly into this directory.
+   
+   kses can be found at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses/>
+
+Step 2: Copy files to your Webspace
+-----------------------------------
+
+Copy Ratatöskr to your webspace (usually using FTP or SFTP).
+
+Step 3: Use the setup wizard
+----------------------------
+
+1. Open your favourite Web browser and surf to `setup.php` of your Ratatöskr installation.
+
+2. * If the wizard is complaining about some unmet requirements, your server is probably not capable of running Ratatöskr. Sorry :-(.
+   * If the wizard is complaining about missing directories, create them.
+   * If the wizard is complaining about missing files, check, if you uploaded everything.
+   * If the wizard is complaining about missing writing permissions, give the Webserver writing permissions to these directories.
+
+3. Choose your language.
+
+4. Enter the MySQL connection details and the desired username and password for the admin account.
+
+5. Copy the text from the textbox and replace the contents of `/ratatoeskr/config.php` with it.
+
+Step 4: Delete the setup wizard
+-------------------------------
+
+Delete the file `setup.php`.
