+RSS Guard
+=========
+
+RSS Guard is simple (yet powerful) feed reader. It is able to fetch the most known feed formats, including RSS/RDF ant ATOM. RSS Guard is developed on top of the [Qt library](http://qt-project.org/). RSS Guard supports these operating systems:
+ * Windows XP and newer,
+ * GNU/Linux,
+ * OS/2 (eComStation).
+
+RSS Guard is written in C++. It is pretty fast even with tons of messages loaded. The core features are:
+ * multiplatformity,
+ * support for all feed formats,
+ * simplicity,
+ * sweet look & feel,
+ * open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3,
+ * tabbed interface,
+ * integrated web browser + external browser supported.
+
+Installation
+------------
+You need to compile and install RSS Guard before you can use it. Basic steps are really simple
+```
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\rssguard"
+make install
+```
+This compiles and installs RSS Guard using Qt 4 on Windows machines. Qt 5 can be used too. For further information head to [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) file.
