+# ipfs commandline tool
+
+This is the [ipfs](http://ipfs.io) commandline tool. It contains a full ipfs node.
+
+## Install
+
+To install it, move the binary somewhere in your `$PATH`:
+
+```sh
+sudo mv ipfs /usr/local/bin/ipfs
+```
+
+Or run `sudo ./install.sh` which does this for you.
+
+## Usage
+
+First, you must initialize your local ipfs node:
+
+```sh
+ipfs init
+```
+
+This will give you directions to get started with ipfs.
+You can always get help with:
+
+```sh
+ipfs --help
+```
