+# About
+
+[Fyne](http://fyne.io) is an easy to use UI toolkit and app API written in Go. We use the EFL render pipeline to provide cross platform graphics.
+
+This is under heavy development and is not yet capable of supporting a full application
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+Before you can use the Fyne tools you need to have a stable copy of EFL installed. This will be automated by our [bootstrap](https://github.com/fyne-io/bootstrap/) scripts soon, but for now you need to install at least EFL 1.20 from your package manager or the [Enlightenment downloads](https://download.enlightenment.org/rel/libs/efl/) page.
+
+# Getting Started
+
+Using standard go tools you can install Fyne's core library using:
+
+    go get github.com/fyne-io/fyne
+
+And then you're ready to write your first app - this example shows how:
+
+    package main
+
+    import "github.com/fyne-io/fyne/app"
+
+    func main() {
+        app.NewWindow("test")
+
+        app.Run()
+    }
+
+And you can run that simply as:
+
+    go run main.go
+
