+Setup and usage
+---------------
+
+Feed2Fedi is available on PyPi.org and I recommend installing it with pipx using the command below:
+
+   `pipx install feed2fedi`
+
+Once installed you can start it by issuing the `feed2fedi` command.
+
+During the first run it will prompt for some values and create a `config.ini` file with sensible starting settings.
+
+Then edit the `config.ini` file and add the RSS/ATOM feed in the feeds section and remove the sample feed.
