 # Backup Commander
 
-Add this line in the sudoers file (use visudo) and it must go AFTER the %sudo line
+Backup Commander is a simple web-based backup platform powered by PHP offering:
 
-www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/bin/run-bu-by-id.php *
+- Easy installation
+- Intuitive UI
+- Incremental file backup
+- Backup scheduling
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> A test note
+### Installation
+--------
+Backup Commander requires a running webserver such as apache using php
 
+1. Grab the latest version from the repository:	`git clone http://pearcey.net:8080/johnpearcey/backup-commander`
+2. Navigate to the install folder `cd install`
+3. Run the install bash script. Note that you must specify the web user which apache is serving as, e.g. www-root or http etc..
+
+The install.sh script will automatically pull the latest version so it can be run at any time to update the system.
+
+The first time install.sh is run, it will require the presence of conf.php. You will need to fill this in with specific information
+relative to your setup. An template file is supplied as conf-sample.php.
+
+The last thing which needs to be done is to edit the sudoers file using visudo. The following line should be added:
+> www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/bin/run-bu-by-id.php *
+
+This line shoul be towards the end of the file, e.g. AFTER the %sudo line if you have one.
+
+><pre>
 Test by switching user to www-data:
 su -s /bin/bash www-data
 cd /var/www/html
 php bin/run-bu-by-id.php 19 0
 	where 19 is the backup id and 0/1 is not-test/test
-	
+</pre>
+
 Comment out /inc/secure.php in post_handler.php if the login is not required
