+
+## Installation
+
+To add this theme to an existing Hugo site, start by adding this repo as a submodule in the site's themes folder.
+
+`git submodule add https://github.com/cjtheham/hugo-theme-readable themes/readable`
+
+Then, update your config file to be using the new theme. For example, if you are using config.toml, the line should become:
+
+`theme = 'readable'`
+
+If you don't have an existing site, feel free to use the provided [starter template](https://github.com/cjtheham/hugo-starter-readable) to quickly get your website online.
+
+For more information on starting a Hugo website and using custom themes, refer to the [Hugo documentation](https://gohugo.io/documentation/).
