+# jimeh's .emacs.d (a.k.a. Emacs-Siren)
+
+This is my personal Emacs config, currently nicknamed Emacs-Siren, and heavily
+inspired by [Emacs Prelude](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude).
+
+However, this is not some form of an Emacs starter kit, it's simply my personal
+config with any quirks, oddities, bugs, and man-eating errors I live with on a
+daily basis.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Emacs 24.5 or later. Earlier versions might work, but I haven't tested them.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repo to `~/.emacs.d`, and update git submodules:
+
+        git clone git://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d
+        cd ~/.emacs.d
+        git submodule init
+        git submodule update
+
+2. Launch Emacs and wait a few minutes while it installs all missing packages.
+3. Enjoy ^_^
