 ## About 
 
-An Application dashboard and launcher
+Heimdall is a way to organise all those links to your most used web sites and web applications in a simple way.
+
+Simplicity is the key to Heimdall.
+
+Why not use it as your browser start page?  It even has the ability to include a search bar using either Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo.
 
 ## Video
 If you want to see a quick video of it in use, go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cijXgmjem_q2OfKMp36qVuXRiyOzvhWC/view
 
+## Installing
+
+Apart from the Laravel dependencies, namely PHP >= 7.0.0, OpenSSL PHP Extension, PDO PHP Extension, Mbstring PHP Extension, Tokenizer PHP Extension and XML PHP Extension, the only other thing Heimdall needs is sqlite support.
+
+Installation is as simple as cloning the repository somewhere, or downloading and extracting the zip/tar and pointing your httpd document root to it.  For simple testing you could just go to the folder and type `php artisan serve`
+
