 ## Compilation
-The build uses cmake. Additionally, you need the [boost](https://www.boost.org) and [cpr](https://libcpr.org) libraries to build, refer to these pages to install them.
+The build uses [CMake](https://cmake.org). Additionally, you need the following libraries:
+- [boost](https://www.boost.org): For some faster containers and JSON parsing
+- [cpr](https://libcpr.org): For easy requests (to download games from [hanab.live](https://hanab.live)
+- [GNU readline](https://tiswww.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html): For the comman-line interface
+Refer to the corresponding pages for installation instructions. On Linux distributions, readline is probably already installed.
+
+Now, building the project is quite easy:
+```
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE .    // Release build recommended for performance, unless you want to develop
+make                                  // Rerun this every time you change sources
+```
+
+## Usage
+```
+# ./endgame-analyzer (GAME_ID | GAME_FILE) TURN
+```
+where `GAME_ID` is a game from hanab.live and `GAME_FILE` is a path to a file containing the game as JSON in the hanab.live format.
