+
+### System requirements
+
+1. The Linux operating system.
+
+### Installation
+
+There are two CureCoin clients that you can choose: one with a nice graphical interface, and one that operates entirely in the command-line. The first is highly recommended and is a good choice for most users, but expert users may prefer the command-line (headless) client instead. The GUI client is known as "curecoin-qt" and the headless client is called "curecoind". Installing either one or both is extremely simple. Just follow these directions:
+
+* **Install from source**
+
+  This involves downloading the source, meeting the dependencies, compiling the code, and then installing the resulting software. 
+
+   git clone https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource.git
+
+    FOR THE GUI CLIENT:
+
+    > 1. **sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev libdb5.1++-dev dh-make build-essential**
+    > 2. From the main directory, run the following:
+    > 3. **qmake && make**
+    > 4. **sudo make install** Alternatively, don't run that command and just place the binary wherever you want.
+
+    FOR THE HEADLESS CURECOIND:
+
+    > 1. **sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libminiupnpc-dev dh-make build-essential**
+    > 2. **cd src/ && mkdir obj/ && make -f makefile.unix**
+    > 4. **sudo make install** Alternatively, don't run that command and just place the binary wherever you want.
+
+    libdb4.8 should also work if libdb5.1 is too high a version for you. Newer versions of Linux will need libdb5.3++-dev
+
