+Pentadactyl for Pale Moon
+=========================
+
+This is a port of one of the best XUL-based Firefox extensions, targeting [Pale Moon](https://www.palemoon.org/) 27. The goal of this project is to make Pentadactyl compatible with Pale Moon, while staying as close to the upstream as possible.
+
+Install
+-------
+
+You can find the latest XPI file for download [here](https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm/releases/latest). For older versions see the [Releases](https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm/releases) page.
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+### Build XPI from sources ###
+
+``` shell
+git clone --depth 1000 https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm.git
+cd pentadactyl-pm/
+make -C pentadactyl xpi
+```
+
+This resulting XPI will be placed in the `downloads/` folder.
+
+#### Build dependencies ####
+
+  * zip
+  * gmake
+  * Standard POSIX commands: awk, echo, sed, sh
+
+While most developers use a Unix-like operating system, you can also build Pentadactyl on Windows with the help of MinGW's MSYS, Cygwin, or SFU. 
+
+### Install without XPI ###
+
+As creating and installing a new XPI file after each update is cumbersome, most developers run Pentadactyl directly from their working copies. This is achieved with [Firefox extension proxy file][1], which is a plain text file named after the extension ID and its contents is just a path to the extension source directory.
+
+Assuming you use the `default` profile, the following command will create the proxy file:
+
+``` shell
+cd /path/to/cloned/pentadactyl-pm/
+# On clean profile, ensure that 'extensions' directory exists inside of the profile directory.
+echo "$(pwd)/pentadactyl" >~/'.moonchild productions/pale moon'/*.default/extensions/pentadactyl@addons.palemoon.org
+```
+
+Once you installed Pentadactyl via the proxy file, restart the browser. Afterwards, you can use `:rehash` command to reload the extension without further browser restarts. Moreover, you can bind it to a key chord in your `~/.pentadactylrc`:
+
+``` viml
+nmap -ex <C-r> :rehash
+```
